Colour is a complex subject with many strands and it has the power to subliminally convey values and stories.

‘We created a label for each ingredient (defined by the ingredient colour) and months of the year, to reflect the fact that recipes and ingredients change with the seasons.’
Also practice on colour-choice-- your colour ramps are relatively-safe and desaturated. Think more of hue-shifting, especially when it comes to shadow

]]>LaCie 730 LCD Monitor – Exceptional colour gamut coverage for creative professionals Covering an incredible 123% of the Adobe RGB colour gamut, the LaCie 730 30” LCD monitor combines superb colour range and vibrancy with the luxury of a 30” working space, ideal for colour critical applications such as photography, graphic design and pre-press. LaCie’s professional 700 series monitors offer an impressive combination of reliability and colour quality, with S-PVA LCD panel technology for deep blacks and high contrast. The LaCie 730’s 14-bit gamma correction and ColorKeeper backlight stabiliser offer both smooth gradient rendering and stable colour performance across time.
The Colour Contrast Check Tool allows to specify a foreground and a background colour and determine if they provide enough of a contrast "when viewed by someone having color deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen"

My plan for the workshop is to investigate the visible and tangible parameters of graphic design — type specimens, halftone screens and, in particular, colour tests and calibration charts — and make a book of our own self-produced tests which we will send to print on Friday afternoon using the online print-on-demand system Lulu. The book project will therefore act as a colour/type/pattern test of the very system with which it is produced. "Print-on-demand" is an increasingly important production system which can serve to make us designers rethink the impact our profession has on the environment and to question the often wasteful print volumes and production methods requested of us by our clients. Graphic designers, and especially students, have a chance to use and subvert these relatively new (and fairly cheap) technological systems to our advantage.

1.- Textures: Many people have asked me how I use textures. It’s pretty simple. Instead of taking some texture images and merging them, what I do is putting one as a background. Then, I start taking the rest of textures I want to use, and low their opacity around 40-50% and sometimes using Soft Light. Then I start cloning them with dispersion options to make them look smooth. I erase zones I think that are rough and then I merge all texture layers and desaturate them. Later I tweak with colour using Colour balance, Hue and saturation, Levels, Curves and Photography filters. That’s what I do for backgrounds. Later I add a single texture to cover the entire image, usually in Soft Light with 40% opacity.
