Color, in a way unlike any other subject in visual communication, is very complex and frequently misunderstood. It has physical, psychological and learned behavioral attributes, and can shape effective visual communication in packaging.
As a flexographer, you must learn the fundamental logic of color structure. This class will help you to train your eye to recognize, describe, define, replicate and memorize color in everyday experiences, specifically in the flexographic environment.
