Colours,textures and proportion
Colour is one of the first things people notice about a product.
This is why the choice of colours is important when designers are designing a product.
Designers often work with specific groups of colours.
*Neutral colours
---->have low *saturation;they are not bright or *intense.
*Contrasting colours
---->also known as complementary colours,are directly opposite each other on the colour wheel.
*Pastel colours
---->are colours that are less intense.
Surfaces of different products are call the textures.
They are many textures such as smooth,rough and some are bumpy with patterns or grooves.
Textures are use to enhance the look or the function of a product.
Size is important in design.
When u are designing things ,you should try to make sure that parts of different sizes look right when they are fitted together.In other words, you should make sure that the different parts are in proportion to each other.
A design has good proportions when parts of different sizes look right together.
