内容简介 This fifth book in the Basics Design series - Colour - examines in detail two distinct areas of colour usage in design. Firstly the book explores in depth what colours mean, their inherent associations and their cultural connotations. Building on this information the book then tackles how to control colour in a design in order to achieve a desired effect or fulfil a specific brief. Starting with the basic principles of colour – how light works, colour wheels, colour combinations and harmonies – the book builds on these principles and explains how the designer, or design student, can accurately and intentionally control colour.

Examples from contemporary designers that push the envelope of colour in design are used to bring the principles under discussion alive. These examples demonstrate how the many substrates and printing techniques, including coloured paper stocks and unusual and innovative ink combinations, can dramatically alter the impact of a design.

专业书评 Caillou is growing up, and the Compass series grows right along with him. The theme of each book reflects Caillou's - and readers' - growth and corresponds to appropriate stages of child development, as Caillou experiences new situations and becomes more aware of his independence. Created with the input of a child psychologist, the Compass books can also help children to understand and express their feelings while encouraging parents to talk to children about their emotions.
