Your Example (choose an existing brand and their real colors or a fictional one and create your own)
For each example, you will create a color palette. You are encouraged to experiment with the online color scheme resource. Your color palette will be made up of three colors: dominant or primary color, secondary color, and accent color [do not confuse with color categories, e.g. primary, secondary, tertiary].
For each example, answer in a word Document the following:
- Identify the color you selected, explaining why they are appropriate for the given example;
- Examine their relationship to each other (ex. Analogous, Complementary, Monochromatic, etc. – use color wheel for reference)
- Discuss each color’s properties (hue, saturation, luminance, shade, and tint, should be able to gather this information visually)
The purpose of the assignment is to help you recognize the importance of color in any graphic design and/or visual art and the process associated with these design decisions.
