The color wheel is a circle with different colored sectors used to show the relationship between colors.
the color wheel displays the 3 primary, 3 secondary, and 6 tertiary colors.


This the Monochromactic color scheme. It is developed through adding shades of gray and black to a color to add more shades of it.
The analogous color scheme utilizes adjacent colors to create a scheme of colors 

Complementary colors use colors opposite each other. It is normally associated with a cool color and a warm color

The Triad color scheme uses 3 equally space colors on the color wheel to make a color scheme. It is often associated with a triangle
The split complementary is a variation of the complementary color scheme. It uses two adjacent colors paired with  a base color to create the color scheme. It has less tension than the complementary, but still has a high contrast.

Interviewing a designer

We saw Joshua Jenkins come into class last week and I myself felt quite privileged. This man honestly had quite a story. Mr. Jenkins told us about he did not even go to college! As a high school student right now, i seems almost catastrophic to try and imagine succeeding without a college degree. In today's society, we are met with so many dilemmas just to get to college and to think that someone hasn't really has a story of its own. If that wasn't enough, Mr. Jenkins also told us about the many ventures he's embarked on. This includes working at dropbox and now in a start up who are creating a keyboard app called GOJI. He spoke about how at places like dropbox, the environment was very playful. I found this really interesting because it seems extremely improbable to think about working somewhere the environment is so free. I was also fascinated to here the many things that he himself had done and how he came into this. I think this is the most important part of it all. He spoke about what inspired him. He said that he always looked out into the world and saw all these things that could be improved on. It is quite enthralling to think about a man who really does embody the idea of improving the world one product at a time and makes me appreciate these hard workers of the word for making it as aesthetically and efficient as it is today.
