Tim Dowd- The Language of Colour

TIM DOWD
The Language of Colour:Research


The Language of colour 
by Tim Dowd 
ìColor motivates, excites, draws attention and provides emphasis.  It is one part of the coordinated effort to effectively communicate in information design. Color has long been thought to be only for embellishment or decoration. But if used intelligently, color can help give visual order to complex information. It can attract, enlighten and engage, and thus, add value.î

This is an explination of visual Language and how colour can be used 
to give information by 
Tim Dowd, this explination really hits the nail on the head.
This explination of language is what I hope to make more clear 
in my essay!



ìAs human beings, Tim Dowd explains, we try to attatch meaning to what we see and percieveî 

He also explains on the website how we use interface design and colour and sometimes missuse colour for it’s true purpose.
( To convey Information)
His explanations and notions are very interesting to me and has inspired me to start my abstract  about how we visually perceive colour as one universal visual language.
