The Lost Principles of Design In the instant age that design has evolved into recently many of us often stray away from the basics. If you had a professor in college who taught you the fundamentals of design these may be engrained into your head. For the self-taught, you may have a book on your desk with these very principles. While this is cool and amazing right now, there will come a point where this style is strayed away from and a new style is made. Balance Arranging parts to achieve a state of equilibrium between forces of influences. Examples: Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial Contrast Interaction of contradictory elements. Examples: Large & Small, rough & smooth, thick & thin, light & dark, organic & geometric Emphasis & Subordination Establishing centers of interest which focus the viewer’s attention.

The Definitive Color Wheel Selecting a color has not always been something that was achieved with just a few clicks. Color had to be collected from pigments of the earth and then dyed into fabric. You had to collect the berries to make the purple-ish/reds or dirt to get a brown. Color, binds the creative realm together be it graphic design, photography, interior design, textile design, transportation design etc. Of course you can take pictures in black & white or make a logo black with greys but the colors are where we can experience emotion. That emotion ties us to the image, art, design or product. Do you just start picking colors and hope for the best or is there more science at work? Primary Colors Primary colors are the basis of the color spectrum. Secondary Colors Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors together. Tertiary Colors The colors in-between the secondary & primary colors are what make up the tertiary colors. Monochromatic Colors Analogous Colors Clash Split Complementary Neutral
The Many Faces of Ken Wilber Out of the several hundred hours of Ken dialogues we've shared in the last eight years, it seems fair enough to say that at least 99% fall into the realm of Ken speaking on quadrants, or levels, or states, or some other theoretical aspect of Integral living. Given this history, we assume that you might be ready for something completely different. Well, if so, the hour long segment you're about to engage is simply one of the most raw and most intimate set of personal reflections we've ever published—and we suspect you'll enjoy this change of pace as much as we did.... Written by Clint Fuhs As merely an autobiographical account of Ken's own vertical development, spiritual growth, and shadow work, this story stands as a compelling account of his early psychoanalytic work with Bob Young, his journey through Gestalt, dream, and Jungian therapies, and his first satori with Soto Zen teacher, Katagiri Roshi. More Than Just Theory Advanced Integral is not just about complex theory.
