Video about the Coloring Technique⠀used by many Chinese Artists.
⠀⠀⠀Disclaimer:⠀It does not tell you to entirely ditch western color theory, just that art pieces may look better if one prioritizes color picking and basing saturation levels on what emotion they aim to convey; Rather than focusing on, ex. choosing vibrant red soley because it gets the viewer's attention and nothing else.⠀—⠀Insert my light and color psychology propaganda to support this. ⠀𖦹 ᴗ 𖦹
Making the color of certain subjects tinted with the color of the background / other objects beside it / main color of the piece in general, would make it look more natural with each other. This is because of⠀Reflected Light⠀bouncing to its surroundings⠀𓂃 ⺌
Additionally, using Grayish colors for certain areas may help the piece have more harmony. If a color is warm⠀⬢ | ⬢⠀picking a grayish shade of that beside it would make it appear like a cooled version. The same with a cool color⠀⬢ | ⬢⠀a grayed version would look warm. ⠀Now if you pair the cooled orange with blue⠀⬢ ⬢⠀and warm blue with orange⠀⬢ ⬢⠀they're able to blend (?), sit with each other better than putting the two default together ⇢⠀⬢ ⬢⠀which are both vibrant and may leave the viewer's eye unable to stay on the desired focal point of the creator.
NOTE : ⠀The default blue and orange is not a bad combination together (they are in fact harmonizing already by being complementary) Using the grayed tones are for if you have a dominant color in your piece and you'd want the secondary color of the opposite temperature to look more fitting next to the primary.

Warm Colors, Cool colors, Neutral colors
Hue, Saturation, Value
Color theory, gray paired with
Neutral palettes can be mixed with bold colors to create balance,
Design psychology notes
negative space – or white space, as it’s often called – is the area of the layout that is left empty. It may be not only around the objects you place in the layout but also between and inside them. Negative space is a kind of breathing room for all the objects on the page or screen
padding and margin, spacing
Variety of textures, colors, sizes, and more can contribute to make a piece more appealing. As a result of those differences complementing each other, it can make the piece more interesting and attrsct the viewer.
Contrast. Text sizes, element sizes.
Line of motion with how it leads the viewer's eyes
Textures. It gives depth and can change a plain piece to have more depth. Stimulating to the viewer's eye.
Color psychology notes
idk messy notes for now
dominant color (30%) + neutral color (50%) + accent color (20%)
warm + cool complement
element order, pin compared to other sites
Typography
tba
visual stimulation, getting viewer's interest
vibrant colors are bold loud and can cause alarm stress chaos, muted pastels are soothing
Textures
halftone, noise, paper, scanline, velvet, glass, blur, mist
ways to create focal point: lines, composition, saturation

Bullshit designing Tips, from Yours Truly (Personal methods, idk if these work for others)
OO1 — Design like you're running out of time. Like it's the last piece you're leaving in this world. If your pride is greedy enough, you'd want it to look like a piece that'd move someone. Just Ore Wa Egoist Da your way through it.
- But be warned, basing your work mainly on the desire to result in something that'd feed your ego won't give you what I'm talking about at all. In fact it might make your work look shallow. Focus on the emotions or scenery you're desperate to paint in your piece if you'll hypothetically die soon. "But I'm too empty to have emotions to pour in my work" I believe no one is truly void of emotions. Emptiness itself is an emotion which you can paint as something unsettling, incomplete, dull. That too, can be translated into art. Negative feelings have the same potential. I know this is obvious common knowledge already shush
OO2 — Despite all the design rules and theories to make your art more effective, don't let them limit you! Design is creative expression, and shouldn't be hindered by prioritizing convenience and appeal. Don't simply chase after what's trendy either!
- Disclaimer: Joining trends isn't bad. Also for business design, it is crucial to stay updated and be capable of producing what the people are into. Just that if you want to have a better design that'll also leave a more memorable impression, try to do something original to you. You can take styles and elements from trends, then incorporate it on your own unique personal brand. Get Experimental too!!!
OO3 — If you want appeal, think of how to make it look sexy. Not necessarily sexual, but it does work quite well when taking reference on sensual imagery/music/etc to mimic attractive visuals. Works like magic every time.
- If you're targetting specific different kinds of appeal, it's kinda just the same method. If for example cutesy stuff, think of or find what references makes you giggle and go "AWEEEE" then take elements in whatever you looked at and find a way to put it in your design. Want something swag-filled? Look at your favorite cool people and think of what associations they have that make them awesome.
