REFLECTION Project 3 - Colour stages equipped me well with in-depth knowledge of colours and how to apply various colour schemes on to images. I learned many new tools and skills throughout the process of this project, from learning how to create colour schemes, the relationships between colours, as well as how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to creates tones and apply colour schemes. In the beginning, I did find it challenging and tedious. From creating colour wheels to basic colours and exploring the various tints, shades and tones. Everything took a lot of patience and practice. After the many attempts, I found myself more comfortable with creating colour schemes and I felt a had a better understanding of colours all together. Finally, the final step of applying the colour turned out to be a long but fun process as it was much easier separating the colours and simplifying adding on the designated colour to the layer.

I felt very accomplished after finishing this project because I had no knowledge on colour relationships, creating colour schemes and how to apply them on Photoshop and Illustrator; However after this project I feel more confident going forward and I’m excited to learn more !
