Hello, come to this design basics course talking about color theory.

My name is Ben Nielsen and I am immediate design educator.

Who's been teaching classes on design, both in-person and

online for over six years.

I'm so grateful that you've decided to join me on this class about color theory.

Color is one of my favorite things.

I love color.

I love to see color.

I love to use color in my designs.

And so I'm really excited to be able to share this class with.

Color.

It's an absolutely massive topic in design, and you could take tons and tons

of different classes and get tons of tons of different perspectives on color.

And you can really dive deep into color and learn all

kinds about different things.

And there are differences in color when you're working.

Physical mediums like paints, or if you're working with digital mediums, like

something like Photoshop or procreate.

And so there's a lot of different perspectives on color, and this

course is just barely going to scratch the basics of it.

We'll start out with some things that will probably seem really familiar to you.

Things like the color wheel, and then we will move on to some more advanced

topics, but we still will just be getting into just barely below the

surface of color theory for that reason.

I really encourage you.

Several courses on color theory, there are a number of them here on Skillshare.

Everybody comes to it with kind of a different perspective.

Everybody sees color a little bit differently.

That's both literally true in the way that our eyes work and

figuratively true, and the way that we each personally interpret colors.

So it's great to get some different perspectives on.

In addition to taking some other courses on color theory to help

yourself get well-rounded with color.

You also will want to look into my other design basics courses.

If you haven't already, I have design basics courses on things like the core

design principles, sketching, and also how do you shapes in your designs?

So it makes sure that you check those out as well after you finish this

course, if you haven't seen them yet.

But for now, let's go ahead and dive in and start talking

about color in the next video.

We'll talk about the project.
