My professor said to always start with black and white, and I finally get it
In my first design class, my professor told us to remove all color from our initial layouts and focus only on shape and value. I thought it was a waste of time and ignored it for a project last semester. My final piece felt messy and unbalanced. After failing that assignment, I tried her method on a recent logo project, and the clarity it gave the composition was a game changer. Do you think this 'grayscale first' rule is a must for beginners, or can you learn good structure while using color from the start?
