WEEK 6 Starter Post: Color

Color really matters. When you select clothes or school supplies - your choices are guided by many concepts - personal preferences, how a color makes you feel, how our different cultures even assign meaning to colors. Many of you have already tried your hand at designing with color in the resume project and can attest that it's easier said than done - a lot of consideration take place to use color effectively (and the same goes for typefaces).

I found an article at the Color + Design blog that gives some basic info on color theory and designing. Take a look at what that author is saying and then locate a great (or terrible) use of color in print, online or by taking a photo! Sky's the limit.

Post a jpeg of your example to the blog and talk about how the choices of color work well with the design's intended message and how color functions within the greater design.

Don't forget to title your post and put labels on it (your name, any elements of your post that would easily identify it - e.g. Tide ad or Wired Magazine layout).
