Blog 16: Advisory Meeting #2


 What is the best way graphic design can be used to augment a yearbook?
 
Color theory, the use of color for meaning, can augment yearbooks by using color on spreads to make the main purpose stand out using a theme.

Color Palette. Valentine's Day uses a red, blue, grey and yellow color palette. This is color palette is made using color theory to determine the meaning of each color at it's specific shade. (ARTL 30)

Color Association. The Halloween spread in the yearbook has orange as its main color. This is because orange has been associated with pumpkins which is associated with Halloween. (YRBK)

Color Mixing. Using several different color without any association to its meaning in color theory. For example, using red and blue to make a spread about soccer. (YRBK)

Color theory, though not the most important part of making a yearbook, can still play a large part in its creation.
