During week five, we had a really informative colour theory class. By exploring the intricate world of tones, shades, and tints, we sought to understand the emotional effects of colour combinations, patterns, and patterns of tone. The psychological effects of colour was one of many fascinating subjects we covered. Cool blues have a relaxing effect while bright reds create an energising ambiance; the power of colours to influence our mood and perception is astounding.
On top of that, we looked at colour harmony, which showed that certain mixes are visually pleasing and cohesive, while others are distracting. The world of aesthetically stunning images got vastly more accessible after understanding triadic, analogous, and complimentary colour schemes. It’s intriguing to see how a color can carry different meanings, from orange representing happiness and blue representing sadness, from red could be ominous but also is the colour of love or how green could be a shade of toxicity but at the same time nature.
Colour is more than just a color—it’s a powerful tool for conveying meaning and feeling, as the idea it introduced shows.

Additionally, we were instructed to share our pitch in small groups. I felt this was intriguing since we got to debate our ideas and discover what would and wouldn’t work based on rapid response from our peers. It provided me with an opportunity to strengthen my previously worked-on proposal by considering new perspectives from my peers.
