My Reflections on a Color Lecture

I think I've always realized there was a lot to the selection and placement of color.  But I had no idea that there were so many classifications of what a color could be!  Hue, color balance, color unity, chroma, value, analogous colors, contrast, and the transition of color.  Really?!  Thats a lot of different aspects of color to think about and apply to the decision of what colors to use and how.

Now that I have been observing different advertisements and methods of design, all these categories appear to be necessary.  Though I'm still trying to get a more firm grasp on how these different classes for color are used, I have a much better understanding of why these are needed.

The first time around the lecture seemed a little hard for me to understand and follow since it was the first time I had heard about almost all of these topics, I'm sure the more I reread the lecture notes and powerpoint, I will continue to improve with their use.
