Colour Wheel
A colour wheel is an organization of color hues in a circle, that shows how primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours are related.
The kinds of colours:
Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue. These 3 colors are the base colors for every other color on the color wheel. This is why they're called "primary." When you mix two primary colours together, you get a secondary colour.
Secondary Colors: Orange, Green, Purple. These 3 colours are what you get when you mix the primary colors together. They're between the primary colors to show what colors they're made from. Ex: Green is in-between yellow and blue. Green is made from blue and yellow.
Tertiary Colors: These are the colours that are made from one secondary and primary colour, like Red-Orange and Blue-Violet. There can be endless combinations of tertiary colors, but this depends on how you mix them.
Secondary Colors: Orange, Green, Purple. These 3 colours are what you get when you mix the primary colors together. They're between the primary colors to show what colors they're made from. Ex: Green is in-between yellow and blue. Green is made from blue and yellow.
Tertiary Colors: These are the colours that are made from one secondary and primary colour, like Red-Orange and Blue-Violet. There can be endless combinations of tertiary colors, but this depends on how you mix them.
RULES
Rule of Thirds: power shown from left to right, top to bottom. Use the grid, intersections.
Rule of contrast: Use of darkness and brightness to emphasize objects, create mystery, sense of uncertainty, suspense.
Rule of Repetition: For emphasis and reinforcement but KISS (Keep it simple stupid/silly).
Rule of Alignment: Things are aligned with one another. No widows or orphans.
Rule of Proximity: Things are equal distances from one another, and the edges of the document.
