3rd October

In today's lesson you used your researched websites to analyse colour, and how it can be used to show mood and emotion. You undertook the following tasks:


  1. Colour scheme starter, matching trios of colours to appropriate words, discussing decisions, as well as some of the principles of creating colour schemes
  2. Identifying key colours from website designs using the eyedropper tool and the colour analysis template (in shared area)
  3. Typography developments using adjectives and colour charts from worksheet to create your own pieces of typography
Some of the technical skills you learnt in today's lesson were:
  • Eyedropper tool (including for gradients and outlines)
  • Using fonts
  • Converting fonts to vector images (create outlines)
  • Using gradients
  • Using strokes
At home you need to add all of today's work to your page called "web design research".  You need to export each Illustrator file as a .PNG file.  Your colour charts can go up as they are.  Your typography will need analysis and evaluation, including:

  • Why did you choose the font you did?
  • Why did you choose to arrange the colours in the way that you did?
  • Did you use any additional techniques (gradient, outline, etc) and why?
  • What went well?
  • How could it be improved?
