Colors

I am surprised that we are not required to take a color theory class for graphic design. For various projects thus far, I found it quite difficult to choose what colors to use. Which colors technically go together (and not just because I like them)? There literally an infinite number of color combinations you can do, so it would be nice to understand which colors would and would not work together just to narrow the options down. Here are some popular logos separated by their colors. It's very interesting to see them all laid out like this and to see their business missions compare to others and how it relates to their logo colors.

Things you should never say to a designer

I just looked at this list and thought it was hilarious. Even though I have no experience dealing with clients, I can imagine that some demands from them will sound ridiculous and make me want to smack them. I also really like the different designs done for each one. Each of them is just so different from the others. It's a great range of different design styles.
