An important new resource has been developed by Prof. Lindsay MacDonald for MacColour Ltd. for teaching and learning the principles of using colour for communication in Web pages, computer graphics and multimedia presentations. It consists of 108 high quality 35mm colour transparencies, together with a 52-page set of lecture notes. The same images are also published on a professionally-mastered PhotoCD disc.
Colour models represent the perceptual relationships between colours.
Using colour effectively gives guidelines for colour information display. Light and reflective media covers illumination, spectra and materials. Art and design looks at how painters and designers use colour for effect. Psychology and perception demonstrates illusions and influence of surround. Displays and colour coding shows how colour can convey meaning.
