COLOUR THEORY

RGB vs CMYK

Cyan, magenta, yellow and black are primary colours of printing

Red, green and blue are used to display on your computer screen

Things that affect colours:

1. Hue: Most basic colour terms and denotes an object's colour.
2. Shade: A hue to which black has been added.
3. Tint: A hue to which white has been added
4. Tone: A colour to which black and white has been added.

Colour Harmony

1. Monochromatic: Colours that are different shades, tint and tone of the same colour.
2. Analogous: Colours that are right next to each other in the colour wheel.
3. Complementary: Colours that are opposites in the colour wheel.
4. Triadic: 3 colours equally spaced around the wheel.

The Psychology of Colours

1. Warm colours: Warm colours evoke feelings of happiness, optimism and energy.
2. Cool colours: Cool colors are usually calming and soothing but can also express sadness.
3. Black: Black is often used sparinly, but it works well as a primary colours element.
4. White: White gives off an impression of clean, virtuous and healthy.

REFLECTION

I learned a lot about Photoshop in this assignment, I learnt about masking layers to make double exposure, blending modes that will help make the elements more cohesive to the image, Gradient Map to make a filter-like appearance.
