Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?


The color wheel is important for graphic designers because it helps the designer select the color scheme of a design and how these colors interact with all others.






Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.






The following design is the logo of Logitech and makes good use of various neutral colors in order to form the image of an eye. The contrast seen between the colors of white with gray causes the human eye to rest more upon the darker grey, and by contrasting itself with the background along with clever placement, forms the likeness of an eye. I feel that the designer selected these neutral colors in particular because that it causes the logo and the company in general to appear more modern and sleek, as grey has become a common modern color.







Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?


We "see" the color of an object from the light emitted or reflecting off of it and this light finding it's way into our eyes. For example, light travels from the sun, striking a green leaf, of which absorbs all other colors beside green, reflecting that color of light and this light is what is deciphered by our eye and brain.
