Design Principles - Study Task 2

We discussed our least favourite colours and the reason behind is, its not something i've  really thought  about before, but in the end I picked bright yellow. The reason for this is i think its quite a garish colour and it can be quite jarring.

We were then tasked to to choose one other colour that, alongside black and a hue or tone of our 'least favourite', could work effectively within a scheme for a simple children's book. 

I decided to mock it up as a book cover:

id made a colour wheel for my own reference and using tertiary colours, yellow goes well with purple so i decided to choose this as my second colour. I incorporated black, but only as the typeface.

What ive learned from doing this is, although i dont like very bright yellow, pairing it with more toned down and darker variations it can work quite well
