Hello, this is Tim And Jeanna and we will have the pleasure of telling you about our week in Graphic Design. Well first to start off we learned a new method called color theory in which we use the complementary, analogous, split complementary, double complement, Three Analogous plus a Complement. We utilize these methods by creating a pattern with the focal point being either a phrase or a picture. In which we had the colors going from lightest to darkest starting from the focal point. Now, we have a new project using a combination of the color theory and some Gestalt principles. You’ll find about more about that on the next blog!!!! Until next time readers Chao!

The Beginning of Something New

Hey Everyone. Erica here doing a weekly update on the blog. We had a few interesting things happen this past week. A few weeks ago we started creating a poster for the Metra poster contest that will help send a positive and friendly message to all those who ride the Metra. The slogan was LOOK LISTEN LIVE, which can be interpreted in many ways as is displayed in some of our work.
Additionally, the class was introduced to our new unit and project on color theory. Through the use of a few websites, and an explanation by our wonderful teacher, Claudia, the class was able to start on a new project with a fresh eye, newly trained, to use color in interesting ways! Hopefully we’ll be able to post those projects sometime next week.
