As a communication tool, color can signal, enhance, and speak in ways that type and images cannot. Combined with type and images, color can contribute to the persuasive and communicative force of design. Beginning with a perceptual understanding of color, this course will explore the many ways that color communicates. Students will work with traditional materials and tools as well as computers to understand the strengths and limitations of each, comparing their similarities and differences in the context of theoretical and applied projects.
