Glossary of Terms (From wikipedia.com and http://www.digital-web.com/types/design_in_theory_and_practice/ by Joshua David McClurg-Genevese):
- Hue:
- the color's direction from white, for example in the CIE chromaticity diagram.
- Saturation:
- how "intense" or "concentrated" a color is; also known as chroma or purity.
- Value:
- how light or dark a color is.
- An additive color system
- The RGB color model is an additive model in which red, green, and blue (often used in additive light models) are combined in various ways to reproduce other colors. The name of the model and the abbreviation ‘RGB’ come from the three primary colors, red, green, and blue. These three colors should not be confused with the primary pigments of red, blue, and yellow, known in the art world as ‘primary colors’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model
- CMYK (short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key)
- is a subtractive color model used in color printing. This color model
is based on mixing pigments of the following colors in order to make
other colors:
* C = Cyan
* M = Magenta
* Y = Yellow
* K = Key (Black).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model - Color harmonies
- Color harmonies serve to describe the relationships certain colors
have to one another, and how they can be combined to create a palette
of color.
* Complementary: A complementary relationship is a harmony of two colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. When complementary colors are placed side-by-side they tend to enhance the intensity (chroma) of each other, and when they are blended together they tend to decrease the intensity of each other.
* Analogous: An analogous relationship is a harmony of colors whose hues are adjacent to one another on the color wheel. Analogous colors tend to be families of colors such as blues (blue, blue-violet, blue-green) and yellows (yellow, yellow-orange, yellow-green).
* Triadic: A triadic relationship is a harmony of three colors equidistant from one another on the color wheel. Primary colors and secondary colors are examples of color triads. - Balance
- is the arrangement of the objects in a given design as it relates to their visual weight within a composition. Balance usually comes in two forms: symmetrical and asymmetrical.
- Rhythm
- is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them. Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture. Regular: A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length. Flowing: A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature. Progressive: A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps.
- Proportion
- is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts.
- Dominance
- relates to varying degrees of emphasis in design. It determines the visual weight of a composition, establishes space and perspective, and often resolves where the eye goes first when looking at a design.
- Unity
The concept of unity describes the relationship between the individual parts and the whole of a composition. It investigates the aspects of a given design that are necessary to tie the composition together, to give it a sense of wholeness, or to break it apart and give it a sense of variety.
