What You Will Learn?

  • This course will go over the basics of color theory. We will discuss important principles like the color wheel, color harmonies, and how we make color palettes for design. We will also practice by analyzing existing design colors and by applying multiple color themes to the same design. This course will focus primarily on color as it applies to digital design and not on color as relates to physical art like painting and drawing although many of the principles are similar..
