Description
Hello I am Adam Chraibi a professional graphic designer and animator. This course is about color theory and how to get the most use of it and apply it as a fundamental to your graphic design projects.
Color is one of the most Important and tricky elements of graphic design because it is always a shifting course. But it is also one of the most powerful tools a designer can use and effectively communicate with clients and invoke meaning. With Successful color combinations you can attract the right customers to buy your services or products and easily increase your sells.
As much as color can help. The designer can face a lot of difficulties and challenges working with colors, part of those challenges are:
• The subjective nature of color, it may cause a designer to be afraid of using bold combinations or from experimenting new things, using always the same color combination may get in the way of the approval process with the client.
• Cultural connotations may lead the viewers to misunderstand the information.
• The technical difficulties of representing a color on a screen in print and other media.
Fortunately, this is what this course is all about. You will learn how to use the right hues for any given design project by studying color relationships such as which color work the best with one another and how to create a successful tonal relationships. Learning this will help you as a designer save time and money and most importantly help you elicit the correct response from an audience and produce successful color solutions.

Hello, I'm Adam Chraibi professional graphic designer and video editor based in Casablanca,Morocco, with more than 3 years experience in freelance work.
I went to art school when I was a 15 years old where I studied the basics of drawing, shadows and light (Mangas style) and after that I went to law school where I got my bachelors degree in private Law.
But my love and passion for art and animation was bigger than the love for law, I wasn't feeling conformable studying it but it was too late I couldn't just drop off I told myself at least get the degree and then do something else.
So I switched my career into doing what I love and passionate about which is all the digital art stuff.That when I worked 2 years as social media manager and designer for an airline company, before going freelance.
In my courses I aim to NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH UNNECESSARY STUFF. I keep it short and compact, I know people want to learn something real quick they probably have other jobs and try to learn something as side hustle, I've been there before I know it's hard so I keep it short and straight to the point anything I judge not necessary or easy to find on google I don't do it.
