Multicultural Color & Typography

• Fundamental Color Theory: Basics of color, color wheels, color harmonies (complementary, analogous, triadic, etc.), color psychology, and how colors interact.
• Multicultural Color: This is a key distinguishing factor. It suggests the class will delve into:
• Cultural meanings of colors: How different cultures perceive and use specific colors (e.g., red in China vs. Western cultures, yellow in Egypt vs. Japan).
• Historical and contemporary examples: Looking at art, design, and visual communication from various cultures to understand their unique color palettes and symbolism.
• Addressing cultural sensitivity: Understanding how to use color respectfully and effectively in a global context.
  
• Typography:
• Basics of type: Understanding different font styles (serif, sans-serif, script, decorative), font pairing, and typographic principles (hierarchy, leading, kerning, tracking).
• Color in Typography: How to effectively use color with type to create contrast, readability, visual impact, and convey specific moods or messages. This would likely include considerations for legibility across different backgrounds and cultural contexts.
• Multicultural Typography (potentially): While less common than multicultural color theory, this could involve discussing how different writing systems or cultural aesthetics influence typographic choices.
