Research: Annotation and Color
Background: According to Kirk (2016), typography will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with your text, but you must also be concerned with how the text looks. This then leads to color and functional harmony. You must provide the balance of colors in your visualizations (Kirk, 2016). The harmony of colors you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.
Assignment: Write a research paper that contains the following:
- Discuss Typography and the importance of the appearance of text
- Discuss the following color harmonies: (Usage, Pros, and Cons)
- Complementary colors
- Analogous colors
- Triadic colors
Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.
Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

Composition deals with the overall readability and meaning of the project. As noted by Kirk (2016), the topic of composition is divided into project-level and chart-level composition. Select one component of either project composition or chart composition and discuss.
Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Wednesday 11:59 PM (EST). Your 2 following posts should be commenting on your classmates’ post on different days by Sunday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts.
A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic on the internet or University’s library and comment on it in the discussion post.
