ARCH 1142- Architectural Communications- Workshop #2- Atlas of Colour

Atlas of Colour was a challenging but very interesting and enjoyable course to undertake in this communication series. I found this workshop particuarly useful in opening up ideas of both colour usage and presentation that I had not previously thought seriously about, especially in relation to communicating my architectural designs. This course enabled me to consider the power colour can have in communication and its effectiveness if used in the right proportions. This workshop also challenged my minimal skills in Photoshop and Indesign and encouraged me to really think about using these programs most appropriately to communicate my ideas. For example, creating a book format that has a sequence and is both intriguing and providing of the information nescecary for a client or fellow architect to follow. This new method of book binding and creating a tunnel experience like that of the model making workshop has provided me with new skills for cleaning illustrating my ideas.
