This unit, we learned the concept of using RGB and hexadecimals (more commonly known as the hex color code) for color on a graphic design, since we are lazy and do not have time to imitate the color that we like on a project, and would much rather copy and paste a few numbers into a system that would immediately fill a graphic on the design with the desired color. First of all, the RGB works in a very particular way using particular colors, Red, Green, and Blue, if it weren't obvious already. Why is it formatted that way? RGB is formatted the way it is since its the primary hues of light. When you input a random digit, for the green, for example, it would look like (0, 63, 0), and since there is no other input in the other colors. Hex codes uses both numbers and letters. A color input which would be one long number in RGB format, is represented by a letter (ranging from A, B, C, D, E, and F) to make it even more easier for the graphic designer/programmer/web creator. Color NamesFor this project, we had to prove that we were paying attention to the lessons, by creating a canvas of the same or multiples of the same object colored in gradients of a hue. Then we had to list the Hex and RGB codes. As you can see, I decided my object should be a dog. Surprisingly enough, after several experiences of toiling with the pen tool, I outlined the shape of the dog rather quickly, which I am not sure how I even achieved to do. I had to make some alterations, because I was later told that the RGB had to be in one pair of parentheses. I think I did a somewhat good Job on Gravit, but my handiwork could have been better. Color SchemeFor this project, we had to create color schemes, allow me to explain what all of these mean. A analogous color scheme is when the colors are right next to each other on the wheel. A triad color scheme consists of three colors that are the contrary of each other, and equidistant. A Complementary color scheme uses one base color and its complement, the color on the exact opposite side of the color wheel. Monochromatic color schemes often stick to one tint, but show it's various gradients.
In this project, I decided to go for a retro sunset theme, and It honestly was not hard, and It took me little time to finish it. I encountered no challenges whatsoever. Of course, I used the shape tool, masking tool, and pen tool to create this project, as well as Adobe Color in addition. Adobe color provides options for these types of color schemes and many other kinds as well. You just have to click on what kind of scheme you would want to create, and drag around the selectors on the color wheel to create the color scheme you want.
