My name is aYafah Ahmad. I'm studying graphic design here at MTSU. I'm pursuing this degree so I can become a UX designer and make bank. I currently work at General Mills, so chances are, you've eaten things I have produced like buscuits or cinnamon rolls or something. My hobbies are reading, exercising, jamming to music, driving around for funsies, binging psychology videos, and low-key beung toxic. I like doing things for the plot, putting my self awareness to the side, and procrastinating.
This website was inspired by a color poem. It features the complementary colors of blue and brown. It is intended as a space to enjoy, interact, and experience colors on screen, but as also place to inform on complementary colors and accessible design that considers color.
The usage of high quality photos, credibility, simplicity in chosen lanuage, the rule of thirds, complementary color pairings, and mindfulness all played a role in creating this project. Learning and successfully implementing factors are two distinct variables. One can only learn from experience and making mistakes.
I chose to communicate my knowledge of color theory to my audience by using complimentary colors. This allowed me to understand the significance of the relationship colors have on each other. These skills can be implicated later on in a professional setting.
Utilizing specified color pairings is a professional practice. There is order, certainity, and confidence calculated in design. This translates into the professional world by drawing awareness to studying connections of colors, the effects they have, and their ability to make or break artworks.
When you're pairing colors, you can find harmony through choosing complemetary colors. In this case, opposites attract. This particular color scheme draws attention from two colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. When you do this, the result is a high-contrast color combination that's bright and that pops.
Examples of complementary color combinations are: Red and green; yellow and purple; orange and blue; green and magenta. Complementary color combos tend to be bold, which is why sports teams often use this formula for their colors.
To throw in a third color, and make the color scheme less intense, you can use a split complementary color scheme. It uses one color as a base and two colors adjacent to its complement.
