Color, Contrast and Dimension in News Design
URL: http://www.poynterextra.org/cp/index.html

Description:
An online, interactive version of Pegie Stark Adam's book by the same title, this site uses exercises, graphic design samples, and malleable illustrations of art masterpieces to explain color theory and the emotional and physical impacts color, proportion, and contrast have upon a viewer. Intended primarily for journalists and graphic artists, its demonstration of the uses and effects of color will also have relevance for a much wider audience.
