color scheme


Color scheme is the arrangement of certain colors. This is used by many people such as interior designers. Monochromatic colors are are colors that have smooth transition with each other. Monochromatic colors are used as wall paint for a relaxing and smooth transition for the eyes. Analogous colors are the color that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. An example of this would be the tree trunks and its leaves. Complementary colors are made up of two colors that are completely opposite to each other. This is usually used on sports cars to emphasize a certain part. The triadic color scheme uses three color which are equally away from each other in a triangular shape. This is used to show vibrant colors and emotions. An example of this would be burger kings logo. A split complementary color scheme is the same as a complementary color scheme but has a lot less tension. Examples of this would be bed sets.

Primary colors: blue, red, and yellow
Secondary colors: Green, violet, and orange.
Tertiary colors: blue violet, blue green,red orange, red violet, yellow green, and yellow orange.

Concept Post


The problem I attempted to resolve is: in what ways can a person who owns a pool save time maintaining it. Look at the concept map above I took many factors into account. Thinking about the pros and cons I assume I came up with a solution which maintains a balance.

  • This product I came with is called the chlorinator 1234. The Chlorinator 1234 is a programmable robot which lurks around in the bottom of your pool. It is powered by a vacuum hose and pump which lets it suck the foreign objects out of the pool. Now there are many products similar to this, but what makes this one different is that it has a built in chlorine feeder. This mean you basically dump a bag chlorine in it and with its built in mechanical timer, it will put the right amount of chlorine in the pool at the right time. 
EDIT: This idea has been cancelled.

Interviewing a Designer

         Joshua Jenkins, a designer who is working at a small start up company, is the man we interviewed. According to Mr. Jenkins a job as a designer can be fun, but very hard to get. If you live close to main designing cities such as San Francisco, you will get a higher chance of both getting a job and obtaining a higher income. In my opinion one cannot simply get a job as a designer without being passionate and focused onto their goals. It may be tough and stressful, but the rewards are endless.

          The link above will take you to the link of my presentation of the product called time charge. This product will tell you the amount of time left until your phone is completely charged. There will also be a integrated software form of this which you can enable or disable in the settings. The software version will show how much time is left to charge the phone on the phone itself.
