You’re Hired, Matey
You have just been hired as a graphic designer for Traverse City. (They don’t discriminate against pirates.) It is your first day, and they are already piling the work on. Read each project carefully and then click on the correct answer. Make sure to reflect upon what you have just learned.

Project OneThe transportation committee has just asked you to design a new stop sign. They want you to make sure it will be easily seen by all. Which color blend should you use?
Go back and try again, or you’ll taste the cutlass!
And remember complementary colors represent the strongest
contrast.

Correct!
Purple and yellow are complementary colors which
represent the strongest contrast in color—perfect for a stop sign.
You and I are birds of a feather!
Project TwoThe economic advisor has just told you that the city’s budget is running low and you can only buy three colors of paint for the city’s new billboard campaign. Based on the billboard to the right, what colors should they purchase? Come for the
bay, but don’t stay!www.torchlake.com
Go back and try again, or you’ll ride with the barnacles!
And remember primary colors can be used to create all other
colors.
www.mccullagh.org
Blimey! You’re correct.
Only primary colors can make all other colors, while no colors can
mix to make them.
You’re as smart as a… parrot!
Project ThreeThe mayor has decided to make all city officials wear uniforms. Since he was the second child in his family, he insists that you use secondary colors. (I think he is going crazy, too.) He wants you to help him pick out the color of material for the new uniforms. www.kidprintables.com
Go back and try again you bilge rat.
And remember the secondary colors are orange, green,
and violet.
