Visual Languages - Design Principles Colour


In this exercise we had to design and make a colur wheel in photoshop. I think that this was just to show us how colurs are made digitally and how the different valus of colours  are very accrete so even the slightest change in value could make a different colour completely. The task was hardener then I thought it we going to be because normally i would use the colour wheel; which has no values, you could just click and drag to the colour you want but in this case it was very different for me and I really think i can benefit from this. So, any other time i need a colour and I need to be a certain blue or clone the colour I just need to remember the values of its R,B and G/Y. Even though i had a little problems with this as the value in photoshop for Yellow was Green making the colours a little different and made mixing them harder, I managed to make them and get the right colours for the primary and secondary colours. Now that I know how to create these colours I don't think I will have any more problems in the future with colours.

Also in this exercise we were challenged to make a cube, which I thought at first would be very easy because everyone can draw a cube but because it was in colour which made it harder with all the  different surfaces in different shades of the same colour. So I did struggle a little. I didn't know I would make a cube on screen because I have never done that before but I did manage to do it in the end but for some odd reason I could just manipulate the squares so that the cube looked in proportion. I think this will be helpful in future because it made me think about the different shades from different view on objects and would really come in handy in when im drawing on screen.
