Journal post 8:)

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition? 


Designers must pay close attention because, if we/they use the wrong colors it could make our product look unprofessional.


Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?


The color wheel is an important tool because, it allows us to see what color work together and what colors clash. It also allows us to see how to make a color. 
I think the designer made this picture with neutral colors because, he/she wanted to give the picture a feeling of closeness and maybe to tie the picture in together. If this picture had a white background with different colored "cats" then the picture would loose that feeling of comfort. 


How do we see the color of an object?

We seen colors by light bouncing off the object(s) and the light absorbing all the colors bouncing off except the color(s) the object is. (example: if you were looking at an apple the light would bounce off the apple and all the colors of the rainbow except red (cause that's the color of the apple) would be absorbed by light.)
