I was also asked to create a collage using numbers and colours but following a particular colour scheme of my choice. I chose to use a triadic colour scheme. This scheme is derived from hues that come from choosing 3 colours from the colour wheel that are equal distance away from each other on the colour wheel. My chosen colours were blue, red and green yellow. I picked hues of these colours to create the following image

Bold

I used a hardware box to show where the emphasis is on the product name and it is highlighted in a very bright colour to make it even more bold

As the title suggests, there is way too much crammed onto this magazine advertisement

Learning activity 1 Prepress research

For this task we were asked to watch a video and then answer some questions relating to it. We were then asked to compare 2 types of printing process, create a word search from some words that we were given. We were then asked to find 6 pieces of printed material and we were asked to outline the printing process for each one. I found this to be quite difficult as I have no previous experience with this kind of thing. Lastly we had to research words related to the printing industry and create a glossary. Here is my work
