Colour Theory

In today's lesson, we learned about colour theory. If you don't know what colour theory is then, colour theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific colour combination. However, colour theory represents, shows and goes into many things, this includes; that it shows expression, provokes emotion and certain colours can catch peoples attention more than others. For example, vibrant colours would obviously stand out more because of simply, how bright they are and if you're an advertiser and trying to sell something to an audience, this would be something to look into.

 
We then looked into colour themes and these are colour themes that we looked into:

Analogolous - Analogous color schemes are formed by pairing one main color with the two colors directly next to it on the color wheel.

Monographic - Using a monochromatic schemes allows you create a color scheme based on various shades and tints of one hue.

Triadic - Triadic color schemes offer high contrasting color schemes while retaining the same tone. Triadic color schemes are created by choosing three colors that are equally placed in lines around the color wheel.

Complementary - a complementary color scheme is based on the use of two colors directly across from each other on the color wheel and relevant tints of those colors.

Split Complementary - A split complementary scheme includes one dominant color and the two colors directly adjacent to the dominant color's complement.

The colour theory in this poster is suitable as the dark colours blend well with the lighter colours. For example, the dark brown doors go well with the red Jurassic Park logo/sign as it makes it stand out. This should be the aim as Jurassic Park is the title of the film! This poster also includes Tracking Typography as it has the exact measurement space between each letter of the title. The poster also includes Leading Typography at the bottom which is written correctly with the ascenders and decenders being clear and not overlaying any other information.






The colour theory in this poster is suitable as the dark colours are very plain but smart and a little bit classic looking at the same time - this goes with the film genre as Bond is a CIA agent. This poster also includes Tracking Typography as it has the exact measurement space between each letter of the title.

The colour theory in this poster is suitable as dark red, yellow, dark orange and black blend well together. The brighter colours are chosen because red, yellow and orange represent fun between them and they also to me represent sun/summer as they're quite vibrant colours that are used. This poster also includes Tracking Typography as it has the exact measurement space between each letter of the title and artists/bands, as well as a little bit of Kerning with the artists/bands too. The poster also includes Leading Typography at the bottom which is written correctly with the ascenders and decenders being clear and not overlaying any other information.



The colour theory in this poster is suitable as its a dark background, therefore having bright image characters put on top of that will really stand out. This will show/tell the reader that the bright image characters will have a part to play in the film or maybe the whole film. This poster also includes Tracking Typography as it has the exact measurement space between each letter of the title. The poster also includes Leading Typography at the bottom which is written correctly with the ascenders and decenders being clear and not overlaying any other information.
