Inhaltsangabe

Design Fundamentals: Notes on Color Theory looks and functions like a student's sketchbook with hand-written notes and illustrations capturing the key concepts and assignments taught in a basic course on color. First in a series, Design Fundamentals: Notes on Color Theory is an essential guide and learning experience covering the basics and history of color science, the practical awareness of color qualities and characteristics, and the use of color in art and design for composition and visual expression. Fun and fast-paced, this imaginative notebook isn't required reading, it's desired reading; and it's one book that students will want to keep and enjoy long after they've mastered the fundamentals of designing with color.
The book includes:
- Author resource website www.design-fundamentals.com that includes extra projects and exercises, a bunch of cool links, and recommended reading
- Fundamental information covering major aspects of color use and accompanying theories
- Strange and delightful illustrations created specifically for this book (to inspire action)
- Basic information on the history and science of color including color theorists and their wheels
- Direction for designing with pigment-based color as well as with digital, screen-based color
- "Secret" Pinterest boards augmenting examples in the book and providing additional resources
