What are the strongest components of this diagram design? I think Kelly tackled this assignment in a great way. It’s a great visual for the eyes and the additional labels make it easy to read and understand. Great execution overall in my opinion.
The color theory diagram I created shows the relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors in two ways the first is I have added labels to each as such; PH, SH, TH. Additionally I have added lines that connect each primary color to each other and the same with secondary and tertiary as well as complementary. To better help the reader understand the lines and what they represent I provided a line color key below the diagram. I was able to embed the photographs I took and add them to my diagram to give the viewer a real world example of where these colors may be seen. Some of the photographs also add texture to the diagram. When creating my diagram I first started with the original color swatch on the smallest color circle. Then presenting the tint of each hue, followed by the shade. I created a word key at the bottom to help with any confusion for the viewer. When it comes to inspiration I more drew inspiration from the color wheel part 1 I wanted to keep the simplicity of the diagram while adding my own design to it. When it came to typography I decided to keep all the labels the simple Myriad Pro helping to keep it simple and distinguishing it from the color labels and the key which I made Apple Chancery to make it more appealing and a bit more fancy.
