Har du svært ved at sætte farver sammen? Køb bogen CMYK GUIDE Composing Colors og bliv bedre til at sammensætte farver og farvepaletter også til krævende opgaver. Selv om arbejdet med at sætte farver sammen er et stort emne, er bogen skrevet meget kortfattet. Til gengæld er de forskellige områder stærkt visualiseret, så alle kan hente inspiration til det kreative arbejde med farver. For dem der vil et spadestik dybere opvejes den korte tekst af mange uddybende henvisninger til den tilhørende hjemmeside: www.cmykguide.com Siten er i øvrigt et besøg værd. Her kan du hente masser af inspiration og viden om farver. Ud over lidt grundlæggende farvelære er første halvdel af bogen en række serier af illustrationer med trin-for-trin anvisninger på arbejdsmetoder. Der er lagt stor fokus på de tre nøgleord inden for farver: Kulør, lyshed og mætning. Især vises mangfoldigheden i farvesammensætning meget elegant med et enkelt kastanieblad. Her ses tydeligt hvilke farvekombinationer der virker og ikke virker! I anden halvdel af bogen skal du blot se. Se og blive inspireret, så du selv bliver bedre til at sammensætte farver og farvepaletter til større opgaver. Bogen er en fantastisk inspirationskilde, fyldt med illustrationer.

Forestil dig fire kapitler i en bog om sejlskibe. I CMYK GUIDE Composing Colors får du trin-for-trin opskriften på hvordan du designer større farvepaletter, der hænger sammen. På de følgende sider ser du hvordan farvepaletterne kan anvendes i forskellige elementer.

Udvidelse af farverummet Cmyk-farverummet er meget begrænset. Mange farver mangler saft og kraft og nogle farver eksisterer ganske enkelt ikke i cmyk-verdenen! Med blot en ekstra farve kan du udvide farverummet betragteligt. (Det kræver en trykmaskine med fem værker). Udvidelse af cmyk-farverummet er også et emne i bogen. Disse illustrationer er trykt i fem farver (cmyyk) dvs. to gange gul. Den ekstra gule farve er trykt i de røde hjerter. Det giver en glød og varme som ikke kan opnås i traditionel cmyk.

Triangle Colorscale CMYK GUIDE. CMYK GUIDE Composing Colors er skrevet på engelsk, men er meget let at læse. Her følger bagsideteksten: The starting point for this book is the Triangle Colorscale CMYK GUIDE. The book begins with a little essential chromatology but is otherwise a long list of practical examples of composing colors and creating color palettes. In your creative work with colors it is a huge advantage to have various systems to work from. When you need more than one color palette for bigger jobs the book shows examples of work methods. In the beginning of the book the examples shown supply you with descriptions of how the color palettes are created. Later on you only have to see and thereby get inspired to dive into matters yourself and develop your own methods. Kay Werner Schmidt is educated at The Graphic College of Denmark. He has delivered solutions to a host of different customers, many of which are graphic companies. The technical aspects of graphic work have always fascinated him, which resulted in the textbook Grafisk design. This book was in 2004 chosen as best textbook of the year in the category specialist books by Forening for Boghaandværk.

At the same time he got diploma for Outstanding specialist work. The technical interest combined with his creative work in colors led to the development of his Triangle Colorscale CMYK GUIDE and the www.cmykguide.com.
