Colour as the Thread: A Cross-Media Capstone

This is the capstone course for anyone who has already covered the basics of colour theory and wants to see how professionals actually use colour to hold a whole creative project together. Instead of revisiting hue, saturation and colour wheels, we go straight into advanced territory: colour management across media, building a colour system that survives translation from vector to 3D render to video grade to printed page to web screen, and the real-world compromises that happen when a client, a printer, or a codec gets involved.

I'm Buzzz, Creative Director of Team Creativity in the BusiVerse Network, and I work day to day at dvcgraphics.com moving projects between illustration, 3D, type, publishing, web and video. This course is built the way I actually run a project: one brand, one colour system, seven output formats, and a lot of decisions that have to agree with each other. You'll follow a single fictional client brief from colour strategy through vector assets, 3D product renders, typographic hierarchy, a print-ready booklet, a responsive web palette, and a short video grade — all locked to the same colour logic.

By the end you won't just understand colour better — you'll have a repeatable workflow, a checklist you can reuse on every future project, and a portfolio piece that shows you can think in colour across an entire creative pipeline, not just inside one app.
