Course Description

Deepen your understanding of color systems and their strategic applications across design disciplines. In this course, students expand beyond foundational principles to explore how color operates in professional contexts such as fashion, interiors, graphic design, gaming, product design, and branding. Through practical, software-integrated assignments and industry-specific critiques, students refine their palettes and develop advanced visual fluency with color. Artists and designers with foundational color theory knowledge are encouraged to enroll.

Prerequisites

Students must have working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Prior professional or educational experience in art and design, specifically color theory, is strongly recommended.

Students will be asked to upload examples of past work during the registration process.
