Design Drawing 10: 4.10.19-Jai Ranjit

Week 10 was about learning colour schemes , their pallets and their colour scheme types

We learnt as to how a colour wheel with 24 colours are made , where the initial colours are dark towards the centre by adding black to every colour  to get their tints, and by adding white towards the end to get their shades.

24 colours -colour wheel

We also learnt types of colour schemes such as

  • Warm colour scheme= which includes yellows, oranges ,reds, purple shades
  • Cool colour scheme= which includes greens, blues, and violets shades
  • Triads= colour scheme which include 3 opposite colour of a simple colour wheel
  • Analogous= which include 2 adjuscent colours of a simple colour wheel
  • Complimentary contrast = which includes 2 opposite colours of a simple colour wheel.
  • And monochromatic shades= which are shades and tints derived by adding white and black to a single colour.

This exercise was for us to understand as to how shades, tints and colours are derived , how they work together.

And for our better understanding as to which colour scheme is required for the zines project.
