Color Theory for Beginners

Description

Colour choices shape how a design is read, and this toolkit explains the principles behind them. It begins with colour basics and the colour wheel, including primary, secondary and tertiary colours.

The lessons then cover colour harmony and how to build pleasing combinations, followed by colour psychology and the emotions colours can suggest. They move on to practical colour schemes for design projects and the use of colour in branding and marketing. The final lesson gathers everything into a personal colour toolkit. The seven PDF lessons include exercises, a worksheet and a checklist for trying out palettes of your own.

Who it is for: beginners in design, branding or marketing who want a practical grounding in colour theory.
