Create a Digital Color Wheel using colored images. Try to keep the images true to its natural color.
HOW TO GET STARTED
First, open up Adobe Photoshop
At the top of your screen, go to File-> New
A Window will pop up that looks like this:
Give your file a name (ex. Color Wheel)
Set the width to 8 inches and the height to 11 inches
Set the resolution to 300 and the color mode to CMYK Color
Now, start searching online for images that make up the color wheel. Try to choose a theme (ex. fruits/vegetables, butterflies, cars, etc.). Try to find an image for every color on the color wheel without manipulating their color.
Once you have found all your images, open them up into photoshop and start to edit them to create a 'color wheel'. You can be creative with this. They do not have be lined up in a circle like the traditional color wheel but you do need to include all the colors.
