Description
Learn how to create unified and visually inviting spaces with the fourth edition of Color Plus Design. Author Ron Reed shows how color and design theory, when used together, can produce successful spaces that help designers avoid common color mistakes in a variety of residential and commercial interiors. Students will gain an appreciation of how different cultures around the world use color in their designs; how color affects one's health and wellbeing; and learn how to effectively use color in conjunction with key design principles such as balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, scale, unity, harmony, and variety.
