For example, color one is a lighter color and color 2 and 3 are darker color.

*Remember that not to use too much of contrasted color , or else our design going to be look aggressive and restless. So , to be smart to balanced it.

Form Follows Function or Function Follows Form?

Function meaning that something is created for a certain purpose.

Form Follows Function or Function Follows Form ?
Personally I more to agree with Form Follows Function because in design, the first sight is very important to grab the attention of people. So, I preferred form follows function.
