COLOURS
Understanding the meaning of color as well as the cultural use of color and how colors interact is important in print and electronic design in order to convey the right tone, message, and evoke the desired response to the brochure, newsletter, ad, Web site, or other publication. Colors are non-verbal communication. They create a physical and emotional reaction. It is therefore necessary to know what each colour represents what physical and emotional reaction it creates.
Your task is to explore and research on colours. It can be about what they mean, what they represent or maybe even their historical background. You can do so in words or be creative and use the concept map on bubbl.us that I taught you. I posted one example for you reference. Have fun!
