has been in the Forum's art section for a long time, found that many sites do not do well, the reason is wrong in the color, for me, color is particularly important, if their ability to draw art is not high, to break through in the color and content of the application, at least it seems to be professional some, neat some, pragmatic some. And the first step I make is to make sure of the color I want to use first. How to determine, do their own station I like to watch the mood, with color to express the mood, of course, this is when I have accumulated some experience, bold imagination and the use of their own determined colors. To determine the good color, and then to draw the interface, I will explain the following slowly, now first share a simple study and accumulation of their own process:

-------------------------------First is to look more.

Many people are naturally looking for theoretical articles on the web to match their colors, these articles abound, the theory is really strong, but it has overlooked a point, is that many of the articles are too terminological, a lot of what contrast color, related color, warm, cold system, color principle, and lack of some examples, to tell the color of the article, How can only black and white, but there are also a lot of easy to understand, like the classic Forum on the art version of the article moderator, recommended everyone to see! There are web site analysis, illustrated, said color, and can tell you how to think. And I have to say is the online spread of a lot of color table, do not know what you see after the feeling, the application of how, for me is really not much use, may be my level too much food. I think, on the Internet, the works of the master, is worth a look at the excellent site, is a "live" color table, see more excellent works will be greatly improved!
A natural phenomenon, if you ask questions on the forum, how to improve their web production level? Most people say: look at the site more! And then say nothing, I am more honest, I will tell you to see, and tell you, how I see.
Every time I see a website that moves me, I pick up his color, and will be simple to record the layout, the advantage of doing so is to avoid plagiarism, on the one hand can be a accumulation, on hand, a material, the future will be useful, and so accumulated, their appreciation of the level and color can have an improvement! In fact, in addition to looking at color with color, but also to see the site layout of others, layout includes the content of the site, navigation bar settings, bitmap applications, different types of sites, there are different layouts, this everyone knows that the layout of entertainment sites and commercial site layout must have a difference, this I do not say, there are some to see creativity, Look at the user experience, simply to operate, to see people's ideas, the overall implementation of the effect of its Web site, whether it has reached its meaning to express!
A lot of people have a misunderstanding, is "to see, it is necessary to see the website of Cow B, this will make progress." Of course it is good, but I suggest that you go to see some of the growth of the web works, although he did not too good, but also can learn something, this with the school when the teacher told you to see some do the wrong topic the same reason! There is to see more than their true level of work, from which you can also learn things! Another point is, to see more of the domestic station, which is very important, many people look at the station of foreigners, feel very NB, in fact, if the form is unchanged, replaced by Chinese, it is difficult to see. Look at the domestic station, mainly because of the use of Chinese characters, Chinese, in typesetting, layout on all follow their own unique form, if you like to do E-Wen's station, that many look abroad also no harm! Therefore, look at the foreigner's station, and see the domestic station there are small Xu differences, to understand the absorption of different parts! Text application, layout, many sites in the country is very excellent.

---------------One of my other important ways to learn color matching is to look at the excellent logo design.

You will ask, look at the logo, what is the use of the station? I said, useful, at least for me.
To judge a good logo works mainly have several aspects: the use of color, the overall shape, the implementation of the effect. The latter two do not belong to the scope of my discussion this time. We may wish to observe the use of the logo works in color, and take this as a reference, to learn and learn!

I see the purpose of excellent logo works is to feel the combination of color, and for my website service, so as to exercise their own color sense.
Excellent logo in the sense is very pleasing people, the most important aspect is the use of color, since there are people, we do not have to learn? And I think there are a few points to see the unique benefits of logo works:

1. It is one of the simplest color tables. Most of the colors are three, which is consistent with the design site's taste.
2. Never will someone say you plagiarize, often, we see others excellent station, both the color to collect for its own, and the layout of others intentionally or unintentionally used, we can say is for reference, but too much of the reference is plagiarism, look at the logo works, not too much information to you to do the station, it can only give you the reference color.
3. If you are interested in building your own personal website then design a logo for yourself, logo with color and site with color into one, to the overall sense of cleanliness of the professional, this is very theoretical basis, some articles have mentioned this, but also a basic principle of web design. See more excellent works, not only give you inspiration, but also give you a certain design principles, this and site design to a certain extent is the same!

On the sign color sense, I also have to take out the training alone, although very naïve, I think is very necessary!

In fact, see the logo with color, but I feel the color of one of the examples, a lot of ways you find that life has a lot of beautiful colors waiting for you to explore, you can see in the movie poster, outdoor advertising, photography, architectural design, television advertising, etc. ... Have we missed too much? Just do not have the heart to feel life, work busy, learning busy, is not an excuse, inspiration really from life!
