Colour plays a vital role in and . It can draw your eye to an image. Sometimes it can trigger an emotional response. It can even communicate something important without using words at all.
So how do we know which colours look good together and which ones don't? The answer is simple: .
Artists and have followed colour theory for centuries, but anyone can learn more about it. It can help you feel confident in many different situations, whether it's choosing for a design or putting together the perfect . With a little insight, you'll be looking at colour in a whole new way.
Let's start at the beginning with a refresher on the basics. Remember learning about primary and secondary colours in school? Then you already have some knowledge of colour theory.
36
colours are created by combining two colours. Red and yellow make ; yellow and blue make ; and blue and red make .
If we mix these colours together, we get even more in-between , like red-orange and yellow-green. All together, they form what's called a colour . (You can probably see where it gets its name.)
Now that you know about the wheel, let's take it one step further with hue, saturation, and value. These are terms you might not encounter in daily life, but they're the key to understanding more nuanced colours – like all those little chips at the home improvement store.
is the easiest one; it's basically just another word for colour. In the example below, you might describe the hue as coral or light , depending on your interpretation.
refers to intensity – in other words, whether the colour appears more subtle or more . Highly saturated colours are brighter or richer. colours have less pigment and therefore less oomph.
has to do with how dark or light the colour is, ranging from to . As you can see below, this gives us many different , from a deep reddish brown to a light pastel pink.
So how do we put this all together to create professional-looking colour schemes? There are actually tried-and-true formulas based on something called colour that can help.
Colour harmony uses the colour wheel to illustrate time-tested colour . We'll explore some of the most common types of harmony below.
The easiest formula for harmony is because it only uses one colour or . To create a monochromatic colour scheme, pick a spot on the colour wheel, then use your knowledge of and value to create variations.
The best thing about monochromatic colour schemes is that they're guaranteed to match. The colours each other perfectly because they're all from the same family.
37
An analogous colour scheme uses colours that are to each other on the wheel, like reds and oranges or and greens.
Don't be afraid to play with the and create your own unique interpretation. That's what colour harmony is all about; the are merely starting points to help guide and inspire you.
Complementary colours are each other on the wheel; for instance, blue and orange or the classic red and green.
To avoid colour schemes that are too simplistic, add some variety by introducing lighter, darker, or desaturated .
A split-complementary colour scheme uses the colours on either side of the .
This gives you the same level of as a complementary colour scheme but more colours to work with (and potentially more interesting results).
A triadic colour scheme uses forming a perfect on the wheel.
colours that are evenly spaced,
These combinations tend to be pretty striking – especially when they include or colours – so be mindful when using them in your work.
Tetradic colour schemes form a rectangle on the , using not one but two complementary colour pairs. This formula works best if you let one colour while the others serve as an .
There are a few classic dos and don'ts when it comes to colour. For instance, have you ever seen colours that seem to when they're placed next to each other?
The solution is to tone it down – literally – and there's a simple way to do it. Start with one colour, and try adjusting its , darkness, or saturation. Sometimes a little contrast is all your colour palette needs.
Readability is an factor in any design. Your colours should be legible and on the eyes, especially when working with text.
Sometimes that means not using colour – at least not in every little detail.
38
colours like black, white, and gray can help you your design, so when you do use colour, it really stands out.
Every colour sends a . It's important to consider the of your project, and choose a colour palette that fits.
For example, colours tend to have a fun or modern vibe.
colours often appear more serious or businesslike.
Sometimes it just depends on the . With practice and creativity, there's no limit to what you can do.

You can even use a to browse colour palettes or generate your own.
Experienced designers often take inspiration from the around them. There's nothing wrong with finding something you like and making it your own.

Unit 3 Project Design
Project Design
Project design is a major first step toward a successful project. A project design is a strategic organization of ideas, materials and processes for the purpose of achieving a goal. Project managers rely on a good design to avoid pitfalls and provide parameters to maintain crucial aspects of the project, like the schedule and the budget.
Some might rush through the preliminary stages of a project, such as a project design, but that would be a mistake. Any seasoned project manager can tell you from experience that the more you put in the front end of a project, the better your results will be on the backend.
Project design is one of the first responsibilities of the project manager for a given project. In this stage of the project, the decisions about how to manage and govern are made. A project plan is created and centers on the needs of the stakeholders, the organization and the project itself, of course. This document will then be used to manage all further stages of the project.
The project design includes everything from who is responsible for completing the project to a description of the project, its goals, outcomes and objectives. It describes when these goals, outcomes and objectives will be reached, and the major deliverables, products or features that will be completed. The project design also estimates the budget and outlines how to monitor and evaluate progress.
There can be more than one design presented to stakeholders, who can then choose which they think best suits their needs.
There are steps to take for defining projects and developing an implementation strategy. They are the most important steps in a project. Therefore, you want to involve your team and stakeholders in the process to make sure you’re covering all the bases. Take the time to complete this stage thoroughly.
