- An overview of color theory and the meanings and associations of colors. Uses web design trends and changes over time to illustrate color theory. Also includes creating swatches from www.paletton.com and www.colrd.com and using them in Photoshop and Illustrator
It's really a privilege watching your classes online. They are simply awesome.
Thank you for sharing.
Your students are incredibly fortunate to have access to an excellent educator.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Roman Stetson instablaster =)
@Fabian Ledger i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Fabian Ledger it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Roman Stetson Glad I could help xD
A technical note regarding the color wheel at the beginning of this video (where the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue). That is a color system, just like RGB and CMYK. RGB can produce a larger range of colors than RYB, and it kind of shifts what complementary colors and tertiary colors are. Blue and yellow, for example, are complementary rather than blue and purple. Red and cyan are complements and green and magenta are complements. The system presented at the beginning is not a hard and fast color system we have to use when picking colors. We can, it works perfectly well for that, but you can use the RGB color system the same way. In fact, the RYB was a system that we came up with when we were first learning about color, and being the stubborn people we are, and because colors like cyan and magenta are harder to teach young children, outs just become entrenched in color theory.
This 👍🏾
Also producing saturated and colorful Magentas, Purples, Roses, Pinks, and Violets was very difficult until recently. And given the fact we have the most difficulty perceiving shorter wavelengths it was hard to differentiate so we just called all Blue-Reds the same thing, Purple. It’s just kinda stuck around. I always cringe when someone tries to mix Purple with Red and Blue, I’m screaming on the inside “Use Magenta, or at least Rose 😭”, it always turns out so muddy and gross looking. Such a pretty color deserves better than that lol
OMG thank you! I'm an artist still learning and this went beyond what I knew. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Make sure when you save for web, you save your palettes in png format, else you may get jpeg artefacts which can screw up your colour accuracy. png uses lossless compression, so will preserve your palette and still make a tiny file.
Thx for the tip!
This is great to listen to while cleaning my room :')
Wow ... for every 1000 CZcams guides on anything you some times come across one like this ... thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
This is really interesting, thanks for publishing.
i haven't watched it to the end but already gaining a lot. Thumbs up, great work. Very useful. Very audible and informative. Thanks for this. More of this, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee. Thanks once again. Hope you will post more informative videos?
You're welcome. Have a look at the website: www.digitaltoolsforarchitects.com for more content.
Nicely explained....quite helpful for colour blind like me.
Holy crap, some of the teachers you were talking about sounded familiar, but then when you talked about the caution tape and the yellow tape on the floor I think I figured out what school but also what ROOM you're in. I'm literally going to check if you're a teacher at my school. xD
I learned a lot from this. Thank you for sharing your lecture! :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Very good and professional it is really helpful since i am doing grade 11 this year
thank you so much for this wonderful lecture. God bless
Great tut, pulled much information out of it
11:45 book recommendation
16:30 colors in particular
Nice for all colour system for mixing it. Don't forget to watch this video!
That exhibit is still at the Exploratorium. Really mind blowing to those only taught CMYK.
You are doing great 🙂🙂
I work for a tile company and I'm in charge of custom colors. Basically I work with color eye software and get a formula make it and then throw it into a kiln and heat it up between 700°-1400°F for 60mins. The challenge is you can have a perfect formula but temperatures change the color so that's where I come in and adjust it to match the color. Its extremely difficult.
thanks for this video
I wonder what happened to cyan and magenta, because I think they were only mentioned when they talked about the CMYK system. In that system, cyan, magenta and yellow are literally the primary colors, but cyan and magenta are not even mentioned in the section when the professor talks about the feelings and emotions related to some colors, and they aren't mentioned in the rest of the video. He talks about orange and purple, wich are terciary colors on both systems, RGB and CMYK. We give more importance to those colors because culturally we think that orange and purple/violet are secondary colors, and we think that they are secondary because they are the secondary colors in the RBY (red-blue-yellow) system. All the color wheels shown in this video are using the RBY system, and none is using the CMYK system. If you look carefully, all the RBY color wheels are lacking the hues close to magenta and cyan, we just don't seem to care about these colors, and the hues next to them don't even show up on the color wheels, it's like they don't exist. People often get confused about what color is cyan, oftenly calling it "light blue", and the same with magenta, usually calling it "pink" or "purple".
But you can get red from mixing magenta and yellow. I was hoping you'd point out that the true primary colors ( even with paints, markers, etc.) are cyan, magenta, and yellow. But I suppose this is just web design 😋
He explains this around the 7.45 mark, so you must not have got too far into the video.
The colors next to the base color on Paletton aren't analogous colors, they are tints and shades of the base hue. The video covers a lot of the basics for those new to color but the problem with a lot of color theory and application instruction is they don't typically illustrate HOW to apply this information. And sometimes the WHY described is not entirely accurate.
Having a strategy for creating a palette is very beneficial more so than making guesswork.
About the piece at 55:15; the largest shapes are rocks not lily pads bc the fish siloutes go over them
Thanks for that! I missed it, whoops.
... i am committed to watching this whole thing.
This is really good! Please post more
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Check out my CZcams channel for more videos: czcams.com/users/digitaltoolsforarch
I think it's okay to admit that those late 90's early 2000s Apple's looked objectively bad. They were too curvy and the turquoise was a bad color decision along with the gray/white/translucent plastic. I remember hating the way those looked right when they were released, they don't just look silly in retrospect alone.
Great lecture!
Just to say thank you for a great lesson.
I would like to mention a technicality regarding the color mode. While it's true that CMYK is the color system used by printers, many printers, especially home printers, are designed to print from RGB. What this means is that if you send a CMYK image to one of these printers it will convert it to RGB so it can convert it back to CMYK. This means you should use RGB for many printers, and should find out from the comment printing what color mode to use rather than assuming.
I'm only in 7th Grade and i'm already learning this in my spare time, i don't even want an Art related career.
So glad your inspired by design. You’ve got a great future ahead of you. Good luck!
Here's the attention that you ordered
I would suggest continuing to learn on your own. Using videos and other resources online. It's the best possible resource available. Design/art schools are very expensive and honestly your resources online these days are far better and more numerous. As well as free. So continue to use them. :)
You never know! I’m middle aged and just going into a makeup career now, and suddenly all the art lessons I barely scraped my way through have become important!
Val Kyrie congrats and I hope it goes well
I dont know if this is a teacher but im 12 and im learning about how my life is a lie :000 thanks!! 🙏🏻
Glad you're enjoying them. Best wishes!
Good for you! I’m almost 35 and just figuring this out, you’re miles ahead of me 😂
Dear Professor,
I thoroughly enjoyed your lecture. On listening to it you went through all the points on colour and advances in web design from Yahoo to Apple, then I saw the 2016 candidate pages and I'm wondering upon reflection if you feel you should have seen the impact of trump's campaign website in hindsight? As it followed all your rules. It was clean and used powerful colours. I think Goethe was right about our two visions working simultaneously.
Thank you
i love ur video......
great presentation. How can i save to use for students when you tube is not available
We look at today, 2016... Well yeah for me this is five years ago :p
Dear Grant. Would you please explain the copy right of this useful video? Unfortunately I did'nt see the sign of cc so I can distribute the link to my students. Thank you
To my knowledge there is no restriction to distributing the link to this video, please feel free to share it with your students as that was my intent behind posting in on CZcams in the first place. I believe the only restriction would be making adaptations or derivative works from the video and re-posting it.
nicely done! slightly off topic... what screen recorder was used?
Camtasia is the recorder I use, it is the best I've found for Windows. I've used iShowU HD for my Mac as well and I find it does a slightly better job with keystroke logging, but it isn't available for Windows.
MSI afterburner is pretty capable. And is free.
Do you think the presidential nominee websites that used a color scheme dominated in black wanted to associate power, elegance, and depth such as your architectural friends?
ty
what is the device that he talked about at 10 ish min? The tool that you add to your computer that allows you to see what you are creating digitally to see it how its going to be printed?
You need a colorimeter to calibrate your monitor. The X-Rite ColorMunki Display has high quality reviews (though I don't own it, myself): amzn.to/2uxrHaz You might also view: www.color-management-guide.com/advices-buy-purchase-colorimeter-monitors-calibration.html for more information.
Thank you!
thx..
Red :: Authority, Power etc. This is exactly why the Nazis chose Red Swatzika, why most speeches to the public were at night - so they could use the Red against the Black of night with the fire from the torches. Then Hitler would deliver his speech and have the most impact.
49:53 is like that francis bacon triptic.
45:07
I do not hace photoshop
The way i see colors in my laptop and the way i see it in my phone is different, help
*See colors on IPS display instead Amoled or LED display. Only Apple device shows original colors.*
no turquoise, blueberry. LOL.
06:13-07:36 A complicated, lengthy, uninspired, and listless way to explain the additive color system. "It´s really hard, because I don´t have a great live example for how this works... Anybody been to the Exploratorium in San Francisco before ?" Which means : "Well I couldn´t be bothered to think of an experiment. But I heard of somebody who created one. On the off chance, that one of hundred participants of this lecture had been to the Exploratorium years ago...they did it." Sometimes explanation are horrible, but I at least get the notion, that the lecturer understood the subject. Not so here. What about a little of abstract thinking ? What do "televisons, computer monitors, phones and most types of screens" have in common (as opposed to paper) ? What is the overarching principle ? A demonstration of the principle ? Impossible. If one only had a new-fangled computer screen available. Where to get them nowadays ? And a program to demonstrate this. Hint 1: use "Photoshop", Hint 2: use blend mode "Screen" to mix the colors.
No love for Gimp :(
Nothing wrong with Gimp, but my course just focuses on the Adobe Suite. I've yet to see a quality Gimp like replacement for InDesign or Illustrator. Thanks for your comment.
Grant Adams Medibang is a decent and free alternative. Clip studio is a less pricey alternative with many more resources.
🤤
purple yahoo
What if a man is attracted to pink for example? Is that of a concern? Should a psychiatrist be consulted? Mental damage?
No its fine
Useless
why?
