Review Week 8

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
Because color can change the message and mood a a composition

Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
It is important because it helps the designer keep keep the piece organized and to see which colors are appropriate together
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 designer of this piece include neutral colors (the black and brown) so that the men in this piece would be the first object seen and the focus. It also gives this piece a specific mood that is very intense and serious.
Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
Light from the sun (or any source of light) is reflected off a surface and then travels to the eye. Our eyes then interprets the wavelengths and sends the information to our brain and our brain changes it to vision.
