COLOR O' COLOR...

HELLO ALL,

Long time no see, but there will definetly be some new and AMAZING work to put up here this coming week since the past weeks have been a bit tumultous. We are learning about color now ladies and I have a few links to have you check out:

The first is a email newsletter that you can sign up for for FREE. It's called JC REPORT. This is a bi-monthly newsletter that let's you in on the goods about current trends in the fashion world....oooh la la.




And I also found this lil' bitty thing pretty cool. You ladies have an assignment due this week on labeling colors from fashion ads in your sketchbooks. Well here is a link that you might find useful. It's for a POLYESTER COLOR CHART. It not only gives you the color name but also the Pantone number, which is used a lot in reference to "color match" printed colors of items when entering the production stage.



There is a lot more to color then just markers, color pencils, and crayons. Color is a system of information with many, many, many ways to be used by companies, designers, and artists.





PANTONE color matching is just one way to make use of color, for such people as designers (fashion, product, digital). If you are involved in print design for books, comics, novels, etc you might be more interested in 4-Color Process of Color or, PROCESS COLOR. ABOVE ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF THIS PROCESS!!

There is so much more to cover but for now this will do. Below is a very iconic image of Process Color. Copy this image with the colors and all in your sketchbook and bring it in this WED! Then we'll see who reads the blog...
