Color Temperature
The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that of the light source. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, horticulture, and other fields. In practice, color temperature is only meaningful for light sources that do in fact correspond somewhat closely to the radiation of some black body, i.e., those on a line from reddish/orange via yellow and more or less white to blueish white; it does not make sense to speak of the color temperature of, e.g., a green or a purple light. Color temperature is conventionally stated in the unit of absolute temperature, the Kelvin, having the unit symbol K.
Color temperatures over 5,000K are called cool colors (bluish white), while lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white through red).[1] This relation, however, is a psychological one in contrast to the physical relation implied by Wien's displacement law, according to which the spectral peak is shifted towards shorter wavelengths (resulting in a more blueish white) for higher temperatures.

Split Complementary and Color Harmony
Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce black, or if colored light (rather than pigment) is used, they produce white.[1] When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors. Due to this striking color clash, the term opposite colors is often considered more appropriate than "complementary colors".
The pairs of complementary colors vary depending upon whether the colors are physical (e.g. from pigments), or from light. These change the way in which the color is made, and therefore change the color model which applies. For pigments, subtractive colorsapply, so the complementary/opposite color pairs, are red & green, yellow & violet, and blue & orange. In the RGB color model, which applies to colors created by light, such as on computer and television displays, the complementary/opposite pairs are red & cyan, green & magenta, and blue & yellow.
Since color printing ink does not produce color by pigmentation, but instead produces color by masking colors on a white background to reduce light that would otherwise be reflected, the same mix for producing black applies as for light producing white, i.e. the complementary/opposite pairs are red & cyan, green & magenta, and blue & yellow. The most clashing colors to the eye may still be as for

Color Harmony
Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae.
In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. When something is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic. At one extreme is a visual experience that is so bland that the viewer is not engaged. The human brain will reject under-stimulating information. At the other extreme is a visual experience that is so overdone, so chaotic that the viewer can't stand to look at it. The human brain rejects what it can not organize, what it can not understand. The visual task requires that we present a logical structure. Color harmony delivers visual interest and a sense of order.
In summary, extreme unity leads to under-stimulation, extreme complexity leads to over-stimulation. Harmony is a dynamic equilibrium.
Color Value

Value is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a color. It is an important tool for the designer/artist, in the way that it defines form and creates spatial illusions. Contrast of value separates objects in space, while gradation of value suggests mass and contour of a contiguous surface. In the drawing on the right, value contrast separates the artichoke from the background, and the separate leaves from one another, while gradation suggests the curves of leave surfaces and of the whole form.
These are the color value that we make using primary color; YELLOW, RED, BLUE. Starts with the color, we keep on adding white color to get the lightest color.

What is color ?
Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them.
To see color, you have to have light. When light shines on an object some colors bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes only see the colors that are bounced off or reflected.
The sun’s rays contain all the colors of the rainbow mixed together. This mixture is known as white light. When white light strikes a white crayon or marker barrel, it appears white to us because it absorbs no color and reflects all color equally. A black crayon or marker cap absorbs all colors equally and reflects none, so it looks black to us. While artists consider black a color, scientists do not because black is the absence of all color.

All light rays contain color. Light is made of electromagnetic waves. These waves spread out from any light source, such as the sun. Light waves travel at tremendous speed (186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second). Different colors have different wavelengths, which is the distance between corresponding parts of two of the waves. The longest wavelength of light that humans can see is red. The shortest is violet. Ultraviolet has an even shorter wavelength, but humans cannot see it. Some birds and bees can see ultraviolet light. Infrared has a longer wavelength than red light, and humans can not see this light but can feel the heat infrared generates.

graphic design ( role of graphic design )
ADVERTISEMENT
Advertisement is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. This type of work belongs to a category called effective labor.
ICON/SYMBOL
symbol is an object that represents, stands for, or suggests an idea , visual image, belief, action, or material entity. Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, or visual images and are used to convey ideas and beliefs. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a picture of a tent might represent a campsite. Numerals are symbols for numbers.Personal names are symbols representing individuals. A red rose symbolizes love and compassion
WEBSITE
A website, also written as web site or simply site is a set of related web pages typically served from a single web domain. A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the internet or a private local area network through an internet address
LOGOS
A logo (abbreviation of logotype. from Greek: λόγος logos "word" and τύπος typos "imprint") is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or word mark)BROCHRES
A brochure is a flyer, pamplets or leaflet that is used to pass information about something. Brochures are advertising pieces mainly used to introduce
a company or organization and inform aboutproduct and/or services to a targets audience. Brochures are distributed by radio, handed personally or placed in brochure racks. They may be considered as grey literatures.They are usually present near tourist attractions.

GREETING CARD
Greeting card is an illustrated, folded card featuring an expression of friendship or other sentiment. Although greeting cards are usually given on special occasions such as birthdays, chrismas or other holidays they are also sent to convey thanks or express other feeling. Greeting cards, usually packaged with anenvelope and small, come in a variety of styles. There are both mass-produced as well as handmade versions that are distributed by hundreds of companies large

POSTERS
Poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface.Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and informative. Posters may be used for many purposes. They are a frequent tools of advertisers (particularly of events, musicians and film),propagandists,protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artworks particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original artwork.

BOOK DESIGN
Book design is the art of incorporating the content,style,format,design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole.

BILLBOARDS
A billboard (also called a hoarding in the UK and many other parts of the world) is a large outdoor advertising structure (a billing board), typically found in high-traffic areas such as alongside busy roads. Billboards present large advertisement to passing pedestrians and drivers Typically showing large, ostensibly witty slogans and distinctive visuals, billboards are highly visible in the top designated market area
history of graphic design and typography
This is the history of graphic design
The first thing to keep in mind when thinking about the history and development of typography is that many early printers were not just printers, but typographers as well. The first independent typefounder was a French gentleman by the name of Claude Garamond. Although not the inventor of movable type, Garamond was the first to make type available to printers at an affordable price. Garamond based his type on the roman font of Griffo (a man commissioned by Manutius to develop an italic type for the Aldine classics).
Before Garamond's independent practice, men such as Jenson, Griffo, and Caxton played specific roles in the development of type. Jenson perfected the roman type, Caxton conceived a bastard gothic font, and Griffo developed italic. Several of the fonts we see on our computers's have evolved from the work of typefounders of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
The weakest period the history of type rests in the sixteenth and seventeenth century printing presses. Many presses (for reasons unknown) mixed many sizes and styles of type into single pages, fliers, and playbills. These 100-150 years witnessed very little in the progression of typography
Graphics(from Greek γραφικός, graphikos) are the production of visual statements on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, pottery, computer screen, paper, stone or landscape. It includes everything that relates to creation of signs, charts, logos, graphs, drawings,line art, symbols, geometric designs and so on. Graphic design is the art or profession of combining text, pictures, and ideas in advertisements, publication, or website. At its widest definition, it therefore includes the whole history of art, although painting and other aspects of the subject are more usually treated as art history.
Hundreds of graphic designs of animals by the primitive people in the Chauvet Cave, in the south of France, which were drawn earlier than 30,000 BC,[2] as well as similar designs in the Lascaux cave of France that were drawn earlier than 14,000 BC,[3] or the designs of the primitive hunters in the Bhimbetka rock shelters in India that were drawn earlier than 7,000 BC,[4] and the Aboriginal Rock Art, in the Kakadu National Park of Australia,[5] and many other rock or cave paintings in other parts of the world show that graphics have a very long history which is shared among humanity. This history together with the history of writing which was emerged in 3000-4000 BC are at the foundation of the Graphic Art.

This is the history of typography
Typography is the study of type and type faces, the evolution of printed letters. Since man did not begin to write with type, but rather the chisel, brush, and pen, it is the study of handwriting, that provides us with the basis for creating type designs.The first thing to keep in mind when thinking about the history and development of typography is that many early printers were not just printers, but typographers as well.
