Review Week 8

In this post, answer the following questions:

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
Too much color can distract or annoy the eye but too little color will bore the eye

Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
It helps give them a guide of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors

Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.
The poster is mainly black and white with the exception of bright green. This makes the green stand out even more. The designer used black and white to emphasize the "BIG" and the snowboarder.


Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
We see the color of an object by what colors it reflects off and what colors it absorbs. For example, an apple is red, so it reflects only red and absorbs all other colors.
