Colors are something we see all the time in our daily lives. When you're designing something, it could be a character, a landscape, or anything in between, the colors you use are more important than you think. Certain colors go well together but certain colors also go pretty terribly together. In your designs if your colors down't work well together it can be uninteresting or if the colors clash too much it can hurt the viewers eyes to look at your creation. If you're going to print something you can't use RGB colors but if you're going to display something on your screen, it would be better not to use CMYK. Color theory is complicated but it's necessary to create a good design.

Everyone knows what Wii Sports is, if you had a Wii growing up it was a game you were sure to have. It had many sports all packed into one game that you could play with your friends and family, and it made up a lot of people's childhoods. Even if playing Wii Sports doesn't count as exercising, there's still a lot it teaches the kids who play it about sports. A lot of what I know about baseball is stuff that I learned from sports video games like Wii Sports, because it really does help you learn the rules to the game. Wii Sports can actually help get people into sports in real life too, if you really like a certain sport in the game then you might be inspired to try it in real life too. It's true you might not be good at it in real life but at least it inspired you to give it a try. I haven't personally played a lot of games where the color palette really stood out to me. But, one game in which I genuinely did enjoy the use of color was Animal Crossing. Animal crossing is a really customizable game in terms of color but one of the things that really stuck out about the game was the seasons. In the game, the whole setting changes during each season to suit it better and the choices of color that the creators of the game used really worked out. The use of color in this game gives a pretty happy go-lucky feel to it because that's the type of game it is. Whenever you play the game you're sure to have a smile on your face, and the colors only add to that. The game is mostly soft, warm colors that make you feel calm and carefree. It has a lot of reds, pinks, yellows, light greens, and blues that make the game feel like a cartoony version of real life. Color plays an important role in games because if your colors hurt to look at, nobody is going to want to play your game. Colors can be used to provoke certain emotions and give a game an over-all tone and mood. A picture of animal crossing in the fall: Citation: "Redirect Notice." Google.

Photoshop can be a good thing for people to use on pictures if they are just editing out a minor detail that makes them look bad on that particular day but it gets bad when they start to change themselves entirely with it. If everyone starts changing themselves to look like someone they aren't in photoshop it's going to create an unachievable beauty standard that will affect people negatively rather than the original positive intention. People will want to look like that in real life so bad and it'll probably lead to a lot of people hating themselves.
