Hello students.

2
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,160
Thanks for taking this course.

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,120
I'm glad you're here.

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,760
I've been teaching color theory for over 20 years

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,100
and I'm passionate about sharing everything I've learned

6
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:24,340
through the development and teaching of my assignments.

7
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:26,100
In teaching this course,

8
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,880
my goal is for you to become more aware

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,060
of the relativity of color

10
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:32,040
and more confident in making color decisions in your own work.

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,140
We discussed the color theory concepts of Johannes Itten and Joseph Elbers

12
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:38,840
and we performed a group of color experiments.

13
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,640
We completed the course by creating a set of exhibition posters

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,320
for print and electronic display that combined type and images

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,580
related to the color experiments you performed.

16
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,780
Here are a few things to keep in mind during our course.

17
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,800
First, color continually deceives us.

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,040
It is the most relative part of art and design,

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,180
completely dependent on a specific context and situation.

20
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:03,220
Second, experimentation equals play.

21
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:06,920
The idea is to have a vision of what you want to do and how to do it,

22
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:08,960
but you won't know the outcome until you're done.

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,580
Finally, with color, what you see isn't necessarily what everyone else sees.

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,220
We may or may not agree on what we see as red, yellow, or blue.

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,920
For every color, there is a universal and personal definition.

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,660
The final project, the exhibition posters,

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,020
should be new and original.

28
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:25,280
They

29
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:28,840
should not look exactly like the results of my demonstrations,

30
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:33,000
and they should not look exactly like the designs posted by other students in the form.

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,840
I encourage you to participate in the form.

32
00:01:36,220 --> 00:01:39,080
Your comments will add value to everyone's experience with the course,

33
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:39,860
including mine.

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Look at the work of your classmates with a critical eye,

35
00:01:43,220 --> 00:01:44,280
and when something moves you,

36
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:47,400
make a note of it and try to incorporate the idea into your own work,

37
00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:48,320
in your own way.

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,520
You'll be part of the continuum of color in graphic design.
