Systematic Colour
Information I took from the talk that was new to me.
Colour leaves a imprint of the opposite after we see it, we was shown this through music video and power point.

I did not know that CMYK and RGB stood for colours
Print work should be done in CMYK and RGB should be used in web work.
Hue = One colour
Colour = One or several
shades are hues plus black
tones are hues plus white
By adding darker colours behind a colour you can change the perception of it.
In my group I chose to colour a Crime Fiction Novel. From research i gathered I saw that Green and reds tended to be the go to colours, I suppose this is because they are both quite dingy colours when in darker shades. Back grounds seemed to be lighter greys etc.
For my main colour I chose Pantone 370u a much darker shade of green in a uncoated colour, this was because it is the most obvious one to fit the bill and the one that seems to be used most frequently within crimes. I decided to use it in matt as i think it gives it a more mysterious effect by being subtle.
For my second choices I went for a subtle shade of steel blue I believe it looks in between a grey and a blue this represents the cold and Mysterious crime scenes. Helps give the book a crisp shade
Green - 370u and Blue - 5445u
Studio Task by barney and chloe in my group.
In groups of 4 we have been asked to pick two film genres and explore the pantone colour range. We then have to pick two pantone shades that we think:
a) represents a typical cover colour choice
b) a less conformist yet still interesting opinion
Our first genre choice is Fairy Tail.
Fairy tales are known for being bright, happy and colourful. Most animated fairy tail stories involve a range of pinks, blues, yellows and greens. These colours are easy to read and make for a generally positive, mystical image.
Therefore we have chosen Pantone 'Pink 237 M' as our first choice. This colour is a saturated yet soft shade of pink commonly associated with princess dresses.
Our second, less obvious choice is Pantone Blue/Green 317 M. This is light turquoise colour that we feel is closely related to the pink we chose. It is also a soft, subtle colour that can be associated with an overwhelming blue sky or also as a princess dress.
Our second genre of choice is Science Fiction
Science fiction is generally quite a masculine genre of films therefore the colours used for the set and costumes are usually dark blues, greens and blacks.
The first colour we chose as a typical cover colour is Pantone Blue 2955 M. This blue we thought is associated with the dark sky and space. It is generally a masculine colour and is intense and ominous.
The second colour is Pantone Grey 414 M. This colour can be recognised as the colour of martial and other walks of life. It is also quite mechanical and metallic, resembles spaceships and UFOs.
How I will apply this to my practice is use the Pantone colours for reference as they are industry standard and the most precise way to explain colours to a client.
