Understanding Color

Posted on Wednesday, Oct. 17th 2007 6:32 PM, by Cassi

The divide between Web Design and Print Design is growing smaller every day. More and more Web Designers and Print Designers are expected to fill both roles. This can sometimes create problems, especially when it comes to color. This is most apparent when a Web designer creates a design for print, has it printed, and realizes the colors are completely different than what was on the screen. Instead of going into the differences between RGB and CMYK myself, I’ve created a list of resources for designers on both sides to learn more about color. Color can be one of the most important aspects of a design, for both Web and Print. It’s worth taking the time to learn about how to use color to reach your desired outcome in any medium.
