<v ->In this section we're gonna talk about the color wheel.</v>

2

00:00:02,920  -->  00:00:05,120
Now the color wheel is a fascinating
3

3

00:00:05,120  -->  00:00:07,770
graphic design concept to use.
4

4

00:00:07,770  -->  00:00:09,890
And so, here's a color wheel here,
5

5

00:00:09,890  -->  00:00:13,140
which was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton,
6

6

00:00:13,140  -->  00:00:15,640
and basically, the color wheel,
7

7

00:00:15,640  -->  00:00:18,250
the way to use it when it comes to graphics,
8

8

00:00:18,250  -->  00:00:22,220
is you want to use colors that are opposite each other,
9

9

00:00:22,220  -->  00:00:23,900
if you can, you don't have to,
10

10

00:00:23,900  -->  00:00:27,410
but it's got a nice effect to it, it's pleasing to the eye.
11

11

00:00:27,410  -->  00:00:31,290
And so, for example, we can see here on the color wheel
12

12

00:00:31,290  -->  00:00:34,410
that yellow and purple are opposites
13

13

00:00:34,410  -->  00:00:35,970
and so those are two great colors
14

14

00:00:35,970  -->  00:00:39,080
to try to use in your thumbnail images.
15

15

00:00:39,080  -->  00:00:40,900
Now I also want you to take a look here,
16

16

00:00:40,900  -->  00:00:42,510
and pause the video if you want to,
17

17

00:00:42,510  -->  00:00:45,170
at all these corporate logos.
18

18

00:00:45,170  -->  00:00:48,860
All these corporate logos use the opposites,
19

19

00:00:48,860  -->  00:00:51,610
on their logos in terms of colors
20

20

00:00:51,610  -->  00:00:54,980
from the color wheel, and it has a beautiful effect to it.
21

21

00:00:54,980  -->  00:00:57,530
And when you walk into a candy store,
22

22

00:00:57,530  -->  00:01:01,920
try to look at the color on the wrappings for the candy.
23

23

00:01:01,920  -->  00:01:05,310
So for example, with Nerds, which is my favorite candy
24

24

00:01:05,310  -->  00:01:08,770
growing up, you'll see here on this sample package here
25

25

00:01:08,770  -->  00:01:12,993
that the colors are opposites on the color wheel.
26

26

00:01:13,940  -->  00:01:16,210
And so the next time you walk into a candy store,
27

27

00:01:16,210  -->  00:01:19,410
or any store for that matter that sells consumer products,
28

28

00:01:19,410  -->  00:01:22,570
look at the colors, and quite often you'll see
29

29

00:01:22,570  -->  00:01:24,290
colors that are opposite each other
30

30

00:01:24,290  -->  00:01:26,450
on the color wheel, and what we're gonna do
31

31

00:01:26,450  -->  00:01:30,270
is in this section, we're gonna tell you
32

32

00:01:30,270  -->  00:01:33,390
how to create thumbnail images
33

33

00:01:33,390  -->  00:01:35,880
in PowerPoint, as well as Photoshop,
34

34

00:01:35,880  -->  00:01:38,900
Pixelmator Pro, and GIMP, which is free software
35

35

00:01:38,900  -->  00:01:40,460
for the Mac and for Windows,
36

36

00:01:40,460  -->  00:01:42,470
we're gonna teach you how to use these products,
37

37

00:01:42,470  -->  00:01:45,680
and use the color wheel as well,
38

38

00:01:45,680  -->  00:01:47,220
so that you pick opposite colors
39

39

00:01:47,220  -->  00:01:49,020
that are really pleasing to the eye.
