UXD 103 exploring identity

Reflection

This week we focused on how colour and guidelines are focused in a brand and are heavily indicated towards what the brand is about and what they stand for. also the use of brand guidelines, brand story and style guides are very important for a brand to be accomplished and to a high standard for the industry.

Colour and guidelines

Types of colour

• CYMK print purposes, cyan magenta yellow and black used for printing and four colour printing
• Pantone used in printing, used for distinct branding, colour swatches
• RGB screen based colour formed from using 3 light beams. can have alpha channels.
• RAL mainly for paint or varnish coating, something painted in the brand colour on a product or a interior wall.

all of these types of colour are consistent with what the brand is needed throughout the colour picking process such as how CYMK can be transferred into RBG for example how colours look on screen compared to printing out onto a physical property.
