Cool Colors

So far out of the three projects we have done so far in class with InDesign this is my favorite one. It's nothing special, but it shows a difference from my black and white composition, and shows that I'm starting to understand some of the functions. I love the tone of this piece because I used more cool colors and the colors call attention to a specific object.

We learned the difference between CMYK and RGB colors for visual qualities and elements. I learned that CMYK colors are for print and all colors mixed results into black. Also, RGB colors are for online processing and all 3 colors mixed will result in white.

This piece we had to use cool colors which are colors such as: Green, Blue and Pink. I used these 3 main colors but changed the percentage of the colors to make the color more cool. I played around with the swatches tab and also with the thickness of the border around objects.

The focal point of this is the pink square with the yellow border. All the objects that lay on top or in back of that shape was where I first started. My composition looks more busy due to the colors being added and also me adding more shapes.

  1. I really love the colors, and shapes that you used for this project. I also like the layout. It sort of reminds me of the disco. I think that the layout is well balanced.
