Blue and Yellow = Bellow

These colours are both primary colours, they are both natural colours and symbolize nature and everything that is natural. The sun is Yellow, the grass is green and the sky and sea are blue.

Probably one of the first few colours any of us became familiar with as children.

Blue is a cold colour and yellow is a warm colour, but when used together it is possible to create some magnificent pieces of design work, mainly because there is a great deal of contrast between the two.

Believe it or not the cool, calming effect of blue makes time pass more quickly and it can help you sleep.
Blue is also the main colour of trust which is why many banks use blue in the corporate id.

Yellow is one of the three colours in the lower half of the visible spectrum it is known as a "warm" colour and has a stimulating effect. It is the colour of the intellect and can be very helpful with study and where concentration is required

Here are some examples of where yellow and blue have been used to some stunning artefacts.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park Visit...

After what seemed quite a long time we finally got the chance to present out presentations on our chosen design icons. I had been looking forward to this day and to be honest really enjoyed it. I though I was very confident in my approach and felt it went pretty well. After the presentations today we went over to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which proved to be a rather interesting visit.

When we arrived there we started to walk around some of the sculptures and to be honest most of them were fascinating. I was impressed to see what people can come up with such limited and sometimes rather strange resources. I think it just goes to show that the creative industry is not for everyone. I really appreciated most of the pieces although some of them I just had to laugh at and think “what is that?”. The first few, where the people actually used trees and wood to create their pieces were amazing I though, especially the room where the ceiling and the walls were completely covered in wood and even the smell of the place was really interesting. Unlike the others that were very modern and minimalist this one actually smelt damp which was more appropriate I suppose.

On the other hand the one where the artist used manure to create these paintings just dint appeal to me. I can see how it’s something different and new, but I just don’t see where they can get such motivation to do such a thing. But ohh well that’s probably why im not an artist and am a designer, and let’s not open that can please…

Today we also got our results from the CSS assignment and I was very disappointed to say the least. I know that I did struggle with the assignment at the beginning but I genuinely thought that I made a lot of progress and have learnt so much in such a short space of time. The things I referred on were nothing major which was a bit reassuring but I was still gutted after all that hard work to be the only person in the group to refer. Never mind, I will treat it as a lesson learned to pay more attention to the small things when handing in, in the future.

Here are some of the photos that I took whilst at the sculpture park. Comments and opinions welcome as always.
