Sharing of Color Picking Tips
-If you are giving one set of 3 colors, try to use one color to contrast with another 2 colors.
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.


-In our artwork design , we should use the color in a right proportion.

For examples, lighter color should be applied in large area or make it as a background color whereas a darker or vivid color should be apply on the area that you want to draw attention.

Week 4

Entry 1

Form Follows Function or Function Follows Form?

What is the meaning of Form ?
In design , the overall look of the design is form, including typeface, graphic elements, textures and so on.


What is the meaning of Function?
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.
This is the graph that I founded from net.
