Working With Colour

The basis for successful design work using colour is sound understanding of colour perception and its psychological effects. The module provides participants with advanced insights into the subject of colour and deals with the practical application of colour in the fashion sector. This knowledge will be employed for the development of colour concepts for the creation of textile products, ranges or layouts, taking aesthetic aspects into account. In addition, awareness of the underlying principles of colorimetry and its application in state-of-the-art colour systems will facilitate professional communication.
