On today’s episode of Make + Design, Carina talks to us about color. Carina tells us what her university courses on color were like and about how hands-on a color class is with mixing and analyzing different colors of paint. Listen in to hear Carina’s thoughts on the 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year and how they relate to the Pandemic. Pantone’s description of the colors is a great case study on how to approach color and infuse your designs with meaning. Find the full description at www.pantone.com.

After that introduction to the power of color, Carina breaks down the considerations she kept in mind when selecting colors for a summertime photoshoot. She compares how she might choose colors for a summertime project compared to an autumn project. She ends by giving advice on how to approach a project with limited color choices and how that affects the design work itself.
