The most comprehensive course on how Color Theory in Game Design Works!

Why this course is special

This course not only covers the basics of what Color Theory is. It also showcases how different colors can affect players in many ways.

This course will talk about what the psychology of certain colors is, how they effect us, what they represent and the difference shades of colors mean. Understanding this is crucial in how to design levels, characters, environments, mechanics etc...

We then take a look at different color schemes and what they are. From that knowledge, we can start to see how certain schemes can work in certain situations and with creating our color palettes.

After the color theory and psychology is covered, we can now deep dive into how we can apply our new found knowledge in video games. We will look at the different functions color has in video games, colors as identifiers, varied content and much more.

Meet the instructors

Emilio Padulo

Economic Game Designer

Greetings

My name is Emilio Padulo and I am a Game Designer.

Ever since I was young I have always been interested in creating games; whether it was inventing RPG games with my sister, creating huge Lego worlds with story driven adventures or building excel spreadsheets for Diablo. From childhood my path has always been clear - I would work in the video game industry one way or another.

During my adult years I continued on this path and obtained two degrees; one in Marketing and another in Game and Level Design. In the course of my degrees I delved into many theory heavy topics about Game Design & Development such as; Freemium business model, gamification, analyzing KPI's for optimization, level design, color psychology - just to name a few. Since graduating I have been able to work in the field for some time exercising my knowledge and honing my skills by consulting with many indie gaming developers, specifically with those who are interested in learning how to optimize their mobile apps through the different monetization models.

There has been a lot of trial and error in my own personal approaches which are errors I want others to avoid hence why I've started creating these courses to help developers new to the industry to not make the same mistakes I, and many others have done.

I cannot wait to share all that I have learned with you so that you too can become a great game developer in no time. So start now, and take a look at some of the courses I offer. If you have any questions - feel free to reach out!
