Book description
Say your worst nightmare came true and you not only missed a
class in your¿design foundation course on color
theory–one of the¿first required courses for that
coveted design degree–but you missed the ENTIRE SEMESTER?
What would you do? Here’s what: You’d go to the
funniest, smartest, most creative kid in class and borrow his or
her notebook. And that notebook would look exactly like¿Design
Fundamentals: Notes on Color Theory.
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:
• Fundamental information covering major aspects of color use
and accompanying theories
