Color for Designers: Ninety-five things you need to know when choosing and using colors for layouts and illustrations
via New Riders
Description
Most of today’s books on color lean in one of two
directions: toward heavy-handed theory-speak or toward ready-to-use
palettes that will likely be out-of-step before the book has
received its first coffee stain. Color For Designers leans in
neither direction, instead choosing to simply tell it like it is
while bringing home the timeless thinking behind effective color
selection and palette building. In this fundamental guide to understanding and working with
color, bestselling author Jim Krause starts out by explaining the
basics with an introduction to the color wheel, hue, saturation,
value, and more. He then dives deeper into the practical
application of color with instruction on how to alter hues, create
palettes, target themes, paint with color, use digital color, and
accurately output your colorful creations to print. The book is set up in easy-to-digest spreads that are
straight-to-the-point, fun to read, and delightfully visual. Color
For Designers–releasing on the heels of its companion volume,
Visual Design–is the second book in the New Riders Creative
Core series, which aims to provide instruction on the fundamental
concepts and techniques that all designers must master to become
skilled professionals.
