Design Thief OMG!! Help me

Hi Friends,

Please advice me what to do... one of guy came to me to have his website design by me...I design mock up for him he liked that too in fact he loved that but because of money he didn't gave me money(which I think now was an excuse) I was ok with that as he was asking 15 page website with flash in 1500 INR can you believe the standard of people...and how after few days I checked his domain and I was shocked that guy copied my design and jut change the colors and when I asked him he was not accepting this means see the limits of lie of guys speaking such a BIG LIE on face.Dude I design that design and just changing the color will not make that your creativity and your design.
(I wish I could give him tight slap on his face.)

So, furstated with that guy and his lies that I was assuming that there should be some copyright law too in the Creative field too.Because it is totally wrong stealing someone's creativity and hard work.(Although I abuse him a lot I cursed him a lot as he was also my friend which is more hurting).

But I wonder that so many negative and wrong people are around you ...they are ready to kill you they are ready to ditch they are so selfish that they are ready to do anything just to get success in life but have they ever think that on the cost of success what they are losing?? they are losing the self respect, Honesty , reputation and very important friends..like with my SO-CALLED FRIEND...he lost my friendship,my respect and now I just abuse him for me he is just THIEF...but on every serious note...We should have some copyright law on design too, so that designers like me can claim the cost of the work they done.

Well he get my design traced from some low cost designer(who are zero in very thing but people consider tham coz they charge 0 too for there work) and I feel so shamed that how his designer after getting the original design coudnt able to give the quality to the design.Shame on both the designer and this guy(THIEF)

Color theory-Basic Level

color and its importance

“One of the most versatile elements of an ad is color. It can attract attention and helps in creating a mood. Depending on the product and the advertising appeal, color can be used for a number of reasons.”

Designs come to life only when we fill it with colors. Color and design always have the strong relationship and they go hand to hand. Color has the great impact on the human behavior and in creating, changing and representing the mood. Color is an attention-getting device with few exceptions people notice a color ad more readily than one in black and white.

Every designer always choose the color that go best with the brand, idea, product and other important features. Every color has a special meaning and associated with the human psychology.

E.g.: -Cool, passive environments are created with blues and pastels, red denotes excitement and warmth and yellow suggests springtime and youth.

Certain products can only be presented realistically in color. Household furnishings, food, many clothing and fashion accessories and cosmetics would lose most of their appeal if advertised in black and white.

Primary Colors

There are three primary colors.All other colors are driven from these primary color.We have the Red, Blue and yellow which are know as the basic or primary color

Complimentary colors

Complimentary colors are those colors which are opposite to the primary colors. These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
eg:- Red-green, Yellow- Violet, Blue- orange

Tertiary Colors

These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.
eg:- Yellow-Orange, Red-Orange, Red-Purple, Blue-Purple, Blue-Green and Yellow-Green.

Color what they reflect?

As I said earlier before that color affect the human psychology.So, every color is having its own meaning and every designer should have the good knowledge of the colors and its meaning to make the creative design weather it is print or web.A good sense of color combination can make wonders.So,here are some colors and there meaning

Pink - Softness
Green - Right direction and freshness
Brown – Old
Orange – Future
Violet – Royalty
Blue – Cool, passive environment
Red – Excitement and Warmth
Yellow – Spring time and Youth.

It is just a basic tour to the color theory.I hope it will help you.
Thanks.
