Chapter Four discusses\u00a0some basic color terminology such as hue, saturation, and value, but also goes further in discussing the importance color plays in composition. Personally, this chapter was a light read for me, having experience in color theory through a number of other design courses and also, in my own photography. I get a bit of a thrill when reviewing photos of my own and being able to find color compositions that work well together. Often, these pictures aren\u2019t even taken at the same place or in the same year but manage to complement\u00a0each other and work well side-by-side in a portfolio which speaks to the power of color when it comes to mood. When working on a digital design project, I often find myself relying on Adobe\u2019s color tool (found here<\/a>) to create palettes that complement whatever project I happen to be working on at the time. \u00a0I find it helpful because sometimes, this tool presents a combination I wouldn\u2019t have considered on my own.<\/p>\n

It also reminded me of a video I had come across within the last year or so that I bookmarked, which used clips from Pixar movies and tied the clips by their use of color. After revisiting the video again, it pretty amazing to think of all the work that goes into getting the color just right in order to convey a feeling or mood in their animation. I\u2019ve added the video here if anyone is interested:<\/p>\n
