Color can convey a mood, describe a reality, or codify information. Color serves to differentiate and connect, to highlight and to hide. \u2014 Ellen Lupton<\/h1>\n

Create a series of color schemes for your translations using the Adobe color tool.<\/h1>\n

1<\/h1>\n

Make an Adobe account<\/strong> to save your colors and bring them into illustrator.
\nIf you ALREADY have an account, which you all should have, then you can skip this step.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make an account here.<\/a><\/p>\n

2<\/h1>\n

Log into the Adobe color tool site at:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/color.adobe.com
\n<\/a>Experiment with the color sliders, move them around to find the colors you want, and create color schemes in the categories below.<\/p>\n

***I want you to not have all 5 categories have the same colors in them, for example: have them all blue because you “like blue”. Experiment outside your comfort zone, sometimes those colors work best on translations, such as dijon mustard yellows or obnoxious slimy greens.<\/em><\/p>\n
