@vvcomi
as a digital artist, im very much confused with the way you explain the use of colour here (10:51). let me explain myself.
you say that shadow is when you add black to a colour to make it darker. but it is definitely a wrong definition. shadow is 'a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and surface'. it's definitely darker than the main colour, but it's nothing about adding black to it. in every artschool teachers would say billion times that it's wrong to add black in order to make a shadow, because it would make your picture look dirty. in nature as well as in design/art light and shadow have quite a sophisticated relationship, that is for sure NOT 'just adding black or white'. the right way to create a shadow is to add the opposite colour (to the main one). if the main colour is blue, than the shadow is warmer, a purple one, bc the opposite colour is somewhat orange. moreover, it's clear that in the first picture in 'colour' part (the blue one) there's a very pretty gradient from blue to more saturated darker blue and only then to dark purple. the design wouldn't look as great if the author simply added black to the shadows. that's why this design is amazing, the author knows exactly what they're doing. and im not sure if you know what youre talking about in the part about colours? same here with two other designs, next ones. you cannot just add white to a colour and get a pretty picture. there's also a gradient with a different colour (warm pinkish one that is between purple and 'white'). this pink is what really makes it work. regarding grey, you're also not quite right. it's true that adding grey mutes colours, but the situation is a bit different in the picture you show when talking about grey. the areas that you've highlighted do not show the same effect. in the top right area there's no grey really, if you look closely, it's just a bit darker and more saturated blue, not grey. in the top left area there's a big contrast between bright pink and dark greyish colour. it's true that there's grey here but it's really important that the colour is much darker than the pink one, it allows to create contrast that is essential to balance things out. these details are crucial, because if the designer just added grey, the picture would look dirty and not as pleasant.
it's not the way colours work in design. your information about colours is very misleading, i don't understand why you try to explain it to people if it's just wrong 🙁 im sure you're a good professional but why do you try to explain such concepts if you don't quite understand them

Love the basic design elements!
@aniruddhamahanta6630
For your information, dot is the most basic element of design. A line is made of dots. So you lost me there as your basics aren't even clear.

@element-alchemist8875
Another great video. 👍
Question. You said know the color space you need to use before designing. But what if I’m designing a book cover’s ebook and print cover? Design in RGB and export the RGB then convert to CMYK and export the CMYK?
