Introduction to Color Theory for Visual Communication
“I want to thank you for taking this course. Color is a fundamental element of understanding, responding to, and remembering design. It is not easy. As we have already said, color is subjective and can be personal. The strength of color lies in the fact that we connect with it emotionally. That's also why it's a minefield with customers. It is subjective. Hopefully, this course has given you a different approach to working with concept, form, and color. It also gives you the tools to present the work successfully. Help your client understand why your choices are valid and intelligent. I've relayed advice throughout this course but I can't help but do it again. First, be brave and bold. When you explore, take risks. Work in broad strokes. Timid and hesitant design rarely works. Make the documentation and archiving process the final phase of each project. Share the work on Domestika and your website or social media. The world needs to see your awesomeness. And, of course, share the assignments and the archiving project here on the forum. Share the work of others and add your voice to the community. The design world is generous and collaborative. The forum here is an exceptional space for designers to learn, be inspired, and help others. See you on the forum, and thank you very much. ”
