BY THE SAME AUTHOR: Color Star Johannes has long been considered the definitive color theorist of the twentieth century. His books on color theory and application are standards throughout the world. Now his Color Star helps designers explore a myriad of harmonious colors. The Star consists of eight stencil like disks that can be placed over Itten's color wheel. Designers and artists can selectively examine the relationships of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors by using this unique system. Cool and warm values, complementary colors, and different hues and intensities can all be compared individually, as the designer uses the stencils to see the stencils to see only the wanted colors while masking the rest of the wheel. The Color Star is a useful and innovative tool for everyone who works with color, including students graphic designers, industrial designers, advertising designers, artists, illustrators, color theorists, interior designers, and architects.

A física e a psicologia das cores

Esse é um guia de cor essencial para quem trabalha com artes visuals. Itten aborda tanto o lado físico quanto a parte psicológica das cores, analisando grandes pintores para isso. É um livro bem didático mas foi muito importante para mim, ele colocou palavras nas ideias que eu tinha sobre como usar cores de maneira harmônica.
