I clearly remember my color composition classes at Auburn. I loved to see what colors complimented each other… how some colors would look very different as they were placed next to alternating colors…
These beautiful antique color charts are definitely the best looking I’ve ever seen. Talk about some serious color inspiration. Interested in more modern color theory? Jumphere to read part one of 2 in a series about color wheels and the art historians and philosophers that created them.
While on the subject of art 101, typography is another class that stands out from school. As a designer, the use of type can really tell a story, so you must do it well. I just might love this periodic table of typefaces. Now, this is using the periodic table for something I actually understand ;)
