White
Even though I am such a creative
person, I have rarely shown that side to my personality on here. That is why I
decided to start this series of posts about colour and the way I think about
and use colour in my projects and in my day-to-day life. I hope you like these
posts and can take some inspiration from this series.
This time, I’m looking at white.
I know that there are some of you
out there right now who are of the belief that white is in fact not a colour at
all. For me, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
In the same way that silence is
used as a technique when making music, white is used as a technique when it
comes to colour. It is in fact an amazing colour despite the fact that it doesn’t
have a spectrum of shades like most other colours seemingly do.
There are so many reasons why
white is a good choice in design. It provides a crisp, fresh look to whatever
it is being used on and can make things seem clean. Not only that, but it doesn’t
overcomplicate a colour scheme and has an amazing ability to be partnered with
any other colour without clashing or making another colour difficult to see. Because
of this, it is often chosen for the font on banners and logos, just as I have
done for the ones on this blog.
In many of my design projects, I like
to use white either on lettering or the background when in the design phase
because it is such a simple and easy colour to mix with others and I feel like
it makes my work simple and not overbearing. It also works if I want an element
of light or brightness on whatever the project is and it suddenly becomes just
that bit easier on the eye than if I had chosen something else instead.
So, that’s all I have to say on
this. What do you think? Is white a good choice in design? Does it add
something else or is it just too blank for you? Let me know on all of my social
media (links below) or in the comments at the bottom of this post if you have
anything to say about white, or if you want me to talk about a certain
colour(s) in future posts.
Until Friday, keep reading, keep
writing and above all keep believing!
