In this episode, I decided to focus on color as topic. I explain how you can use a dollar bill in order to create a palette that subtly reminds the viewer of prosperity and wealth, how you can use photos as a source of palette, and sites that you can use to see lots of palettes that people are sharing to convey emotion and message without one lick of text.

    Great video! I spend my whole time in hi-school learning and reading about colors, I’ve never succeed doing an artwork well composed (with the color I mean).
    With monochrome or at least pastels i can do good stuff but with every other I directly use those beautiful strong and bright colors with rainbows. 😀 Colors are too complicated for my brain.

    Your book with disc covers is excellent !
