Now, as I'm sure most of you know red and green are supposed to be complementary colours, yet there is a problem. The light spectrum is out of balance, and there is no complementary colour for green, I believe. So our minds made up the colour magenta - or pink, as shown above - to complement it - and the complementary colour to red is actually turquoise! Read the article fully for a better comprehension and statement of accurate facts. I found this absolutely amazing, if it is true... If you stare at this dot of magenta for around 30 secs, then look at a blank white wall, you should see its complementary colour.
Communication design seeks to attract, inspire, create desires and motivate people to do or think something using words, images, artifacts, spaces, sound, and movement. Your job is to explore and create original concepts—not merely to emulate others' ideas (although others will inspire you)—and to expand your ideas about what it is to communicate.
