Light and therefore color are two effective inputs of industrial design for many reasons such as visual, aesthetic, psychological, physiological and technical issues. This course aims to enable students to use light and color effectively in their design processes to achieve stronger results.
Course Learning Outcomes
1. Explain color systems and theories of color.
2. Describe the color properties (of anything) by using color terminology.
3. Apply color harmonies and composition of color while designing.
4. Experiment color psychology and physiology to create “moods” on their designs.
