Course Description
Hello I am Adam Chraibi a professional graphic designer and animator. This course is about color theory and how to get the most use of it and apply it as a fundamental to your graphic design projects.
Color is one of the most Important and tricky elements of graphic design because it is always a shifting course. But it is also one of the most powerful tools a designer can use and effectively communicate with clients and invoke meaning. With Successful color combinations you can attract the right customers to buy your services or products and easily increase your sells.
As much as color can help. The designer can face a lot of difficulties and challenges working with colors, part of those challenges are:
• The subjective nature of color, it may cause a designer to be afraid of using bold combinations or from experimenting new things, using always the same color combination may get in the way of the approval process with the client.
• Cultural connotations may lead the viewers to misunderstand the information.
• The technical difficulties of representing a color on a screen in print and other media.
Fortunately, this is what this course is all about. You will learn how to use the right hues for any given design project by studying color relationships such as which color work the best with one another and how to create a successful tonal relationships. Learning this will help you as a designer save time and money and most importantly help you elicit the correct response from an audience and produce successful color solutions.

The course is not bad. But I was waiting for more. Some information I learned from this course but I can't recommend it to my best friend.

Really enjoying the concise and clear descriptions. Very well presented visuals and explanations. Some explanations could perhaps benefit from further examples to demonstate the point, however overall, really enjoying this course. Great work Adam!!

I am not a graphic designer by trade. I learnt a lot about how to use colors in my communications, much more than I expected. There is the odd spelling error here and there but overall I found the information shared here excellent. Informative and useful. Very well done! :-)

I'm having good time here . Learning the things, I neglected before while using colors make me wanna do more exercise with tutorial.

Very good coverage of color theory. He can speak quickly and sail through example steps in software a little quickly. If unfamiliar with the software, you may need to pause quite a bit (or be left in the dust). But you'll learn a lot about the topic from this class. Beyond color theory, a good amount of time is spent on applying it in various uses and applications.
