I'm almost all better from the cold, so that means I need to start kicking things into gear. This cannot come at a more perfect time, because tomorrow is Day 7, and that means it's evaluation day.
Regarding the picture generator I wanted to make, here are some notes from the Canva tutorials I mentioned I'd be taking.
Font Rules:
- Choose fonts that contrast
- Bold/Light (Regular)
- Bold/Script
- Sentence Case/All (or no) Caps
- Tall/Short
- Thick/Thin
- Regular/Italics
- Use size to show hierarchy
- Resize text to fill a shape
- Experiment w/ letter spacing
- Experiment w/ alignment
Colour Rules:
- Bright colours go w/ White
- Complementary colours are on opposite sides of the colour wheel
- Monochrome colours are different tones of the same colour
- Analogous colours are colours close to each other on the colour wheel
- A Tint is a lighter version of a colour
- A Shade is a darker version of a colour
- Do not use more than 4 colours
- Use a vibrant feature colour to stand out from the rest (maybe neutral colours)
- Eye-catching graphics only require 3 colours
- When matching colours to a picture, pick dark, medium light colours from it
