Week 2 Digital Document

In this week, I learn about how to incorporate visual design works with content to communicate a specific information and attain a particular goal with students. I particularly pay attention to choosing colours and fonts. Therefore, I create the first infographic about colour combinations for my reference and addition 4 infographics with the same content but varying colours to make comparison.

Colour combinations

The first infographic shows some ideas around choosing colours that match with one another. I searched several sources on the internet and found a set of palletes provided on the VENNGAGE website useful. Hence, I use some of them for my first infographic.

5 E Instructional Model

To apply some colour combinations in practice, I create 4 images containing exactly the same content with various combinations of colours. I would highly appreciate your opinions on my choices of colour combinations.

Note

RGB stands for red, green and blue representing a colour model in which red, green and blue colours are combined in different ways to create a wide range of colours. For example, when we use Microsoft software, we can change the colours of our texts and objects by entering the values as shown in Figure 6.
