1 the messenger of experience! form! and color! product design!

2 the messenger of experience! color! product design!

3 but first! a mini quiz!! list 4 steps/levels in a systematic form-giving process! list 3 types of transition or corner types, and what qualities they convey!

4 part 1! form-giving process! structure! surface! graphics! what it is feeling! topology! proportions! directionality!! corner treatments types evoke different feelings! consistent use of treatments form a style or brand! working in clay gets your hands really dirty!!

5 surfaces! form-giving process!!!! transitions! precise, structured, dangerous! utility, practical, unrefined! sophisticated, fluid, inviting! C 0! positional continuity! C 1! tangent continuity! (first derivative)! C 2! curvature continuity! (second derivative)!

6 surfaces! form-giving process! form/corner treatment vocabulary!!!!

7 surface!!!! the feeling! rectangle exercise!

8 expressive rectangles! sad! young scared old sad happy calm angry happy!

9 expressive rectangles! angry! young scared old sad happy calm angry calm!

10 expressive rectangles! old! young scared old sad happy calm angry young!

11 expressive rectangles! scared! young scared old sad happy calm angry scared!

12 part 2! form-giving process! structure! surface! graphics!

13 details! structure and surface! sympathetic to the overall structure and surface! proportions/grid! flow and direction! surface corner vocabulary!

14 details! organize elements! grouping! proximity! similarity! continuation! common region! connectedness! closure!

15 details! add variety and predictability! rhythm! between or within groups! number! arrangement! dimension! shape! color!

16 visible electromagnetic spectrum! 700! 600! 500! 400! wavelength (nm)!

17 rod! vision! our sensors! sensitivity! cone! vision! 400! 600! 500! 700! wavelength (nm)!

18 rodopsin! sensors: dark adaptation! resolution of night vision < 20/200! rod/cone adaptation! color adaptation! low! low! sensitivity! cones! sensitivity! high! rods! 10! 50! minutes in dark! high! 10! 50! minutes in dark!

19 sensors: dark adaptation! light sensitivity ranges! over 9 orders of magnitude!! but we can only sense across 3 orders at a time! at any time, 10 6 levels of our range are either black or white! low! sensitivity! high! color adaptation! 10! 50! minutes in dark!

20 cone pigments! short! medium! long! absorption! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)!

21 object color/reflectance! fruits and vegetables! orange! reflectance! reflectance! lemon! tomato! cabbage! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)!

22 object color/reflectance! reflectance! white bond! 20% gray card! black paper! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)!

23 color and light source! intensity! tungsten! sun! reflectance! sun! tungsten! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)! 400! 500! 600! 700! wavelength (nm)!

24 simultaneous contrast! color and context!

25 simultaneous contrast! color and context!

26 and so the take-home design message is?! our perception of color depends on many things! light source, light levels, surrounding context, adaptation! test in use conditions!

27 primary! color wheel (circa 1700)! your tool for understanding what goes with what! complementary! tertiary! secondary!

28 cooler! basic color wheel warm and cool! warm! cool! cooler!

29 all contain red! basic color wheel colors in common!

30 basic color wheel colors in common! all contain blue!

31 basic color wheel colors in common! all contain yellow!

32 basic color wheel! your tool for understanding what goes with what! discussion of pure hue!

33 primary! color dimensions! lightness/value! complementary! secondary! tertiary! Intensity intensity! hue! saturation/purity! (blend to center)! Wavelength (nm)

34 color dimensions paint speak! tint (add white)! shade (add black)!

35 primary! color schemes! one point! complementary! tertiary! secondary! vivid focus, often used in products!

36 primary! color schemes! contrasting or harsh! complementary! tertiary! secondary! strong patterns, children s products!

37 primary! color schemes! similar! complementary! tertiary! secondary! quiet, calm, homey!

38 primary! color schemes! separation! complementary! tertiary! secondary! accents differences or tones down!

39 primary! color schemes! separation! complementary! tertiary! secondary! accents differences or tones down!

40 cooler! color and emotions! warm palette! warm! cool! cooler! intense, danger, secure!

41 cooler! color and emotions! cool palette! warm! cool! cooler! calm, relaxed, unprovocative!

42 cooler! color and emotions! mixed emotions! warm! cool! cooler! unsettling (yuk)!

43 color and emotions! value and saturation! tranquil, weak, inexpensive!

44 primary! color blindness! design considerations! monochromatism: 0.001% of population! complementary! tertiary! protanopia: 1% males, 0.02% females! (red/green)! dueteranopia: 1% males, 0.01% females! (red/green)! tritanopia: 0.002% males, 0.001% females! (blue/yellow)! secondary! value (lightness) based schemes!

45 color setting process! primary! i) product goals, image, function! ii) value/lightness, temperature! complementary! tertiary! iii) background color (receding)! iv) accents (color scheme)! secondary! v) limit your pallet (typically 3 or fewer)!

46 color challenge! give a feeling/emotion through color only! look inside your name card! download photoshop file and references! set color palette! use only colors in palette! only change colors!! name feeling_username.psd! upload using website link! primary! complementary! tertiary! secondary!

47 a structured approach! form-giving process! structure! surface! graphics! Tuesday bring your laptop and software you are comfortable using (ppt, keynote, illustrator, photoshop, etc)! learn how to put text on a baseline!
