You don’t have to enroll in an expensive college course to learn how to design effectively with color—now you can just watch the video! Through a combination of stop motion animations and live presentations, Rose Gonnella, executive director of Kean University’s Robert Busch School of Design, and illustrator Max Friedman explain the core principles of color theory in a way that you will both remember and enjoy. The three-hour course is broken down into short, easily watchable videos that show you how and why the eye reacts to light to perceive different shades and hues; how to use a color wheel; when to use RGB instead of CMYK; the difference between color systems such as Kelvin, CRI, and Pantone; how to use color to create effective compositions; how to put together pleasing palettes for a variety of projects; and more.    Fun and fast-paced, this imaginative video brings to life the basics and history of color science, the practical awareness of color qualities and characteristics, and the use of color in art and design for composition and visual expression. It’s the one lecture on color theory that students won’t want to skip.

Miss Visual Elements and Principles of Composition class, again? That’s OK. You can borrow our notes. Lucky for you, we didn’t miss a single class the entire semester so you’ll find all of the important points explained in the notes, along with the class assignments. How does a dot turn into a line to create a shape that makes up a composition? We covered that and more. You’ll see in the notes that we went over all of the basic elements of composition—dot, line, shape, texture, &amp; pattern, color, and space—as well as the principles for composing the elements on flat surfaces (paper, canvas, screens) and in three dimensions. We had some pop quizzes in this class so we put those in the notes too so you can test yourself, even if it won’t count toward your actual grade. If anything doesn’t make sense in the notes, just go to the class website at design-fundamentals.com. The instructor put extra projects and exercises on the site, a bunch of cool links, recommended reading, that sort of thing. Also, check out our Pinterest boards at Pinterest.com/DSNFundamentals. You could spend hours looking through it all. Good luck!

Design Fundamentals: Notes on Type looks like a design student’s sketchbook with handwritten notes and full-color, hand-drawn illustrations. But it’s more than that. This gorgeously illustrated “notebook” is a full-blown typography course in disguise. Young designers are lured in by the lush graphics and quirky layout only to discover by the end of the book that they’ve learned all of the key concepts taught in a foundational course on type. They’ll learn about the history of letterforms, the anatomy and physiology of type, the basics of measurements and spacing, how to recognize and choose type for design projects, and more. Fun and fast-paced, this creative notebook isn’t required reading, it’s desired reading; and it’s the third in a series of Design Fundamentals books that students will want to keep and enjoy long after they’ve mastered these basic building blocks of design. This book includes: • Core instruction on the history, anatomy, and structure of type • Direction on the basics of measurement and spacing: leading, kerning, indents, and line lengths both in text and display sizes, and optical measurement considerations. • Examination of the use, mood, and “voice” of type as seen in creative work and professional examples • Exercises and projects for practice and concept development • Strange and delightful illustrations created specifically for this book (to inspire action) • A companion website stocked with additional projects, a bibliography, glossary, and links to additional visual examples.

Miss Color Theory class, again? That’s OK. You can borrow our notes. Lucky for you, we didn’t miss a single class the entire semester so you’ll find all of the important points explained in the notes, along with the class assignments. Sorry if you can’t read the handwriting sometimes, but there was a lot to cover. We went over all of the basics–how light works, ROYGBIV, RGB, CMYK, color wheels, how to choose colors and compose with colors, all of that stuff. If it helps, we tried to include a lot of drawings because that’s how we remember things best. Oh hey, to learn more, just go to the class website at www.design-fundamentals.com or check out the “Notes on Color” pinner on Pinterest. The instructor put extra projects and exercises on the site, a bunch of cool links, recommended reading, that sort of thing. Good luck! See you in Visual Elements and Principles of Composition class next semester.
