Color theory concept


This is a monochromatic design. We have used different values and shades of the same magenta color. 

Magenta is red with blue bias. 

Red is a warm color but blue is cool. So, magenta has a perfect balance. Besides, it is closer to red and pink, the colors of passion and love respectively. 

The other prominent color is green. This green has a red bias. Green represents freshness, youth, and prosperity. All this makes it a perfect design for your Valentine if they are smart and sensitive like you :)

Diary -24th July

  I tried learning Greek and Japanese. German is too easy and boring but I will get back to it as soon as I can. I wonder why not learn pretty much any real language on Duolingo? It will give me the variety I want.  The Greek letters sound just like Hindi letters. But the Greek letters are also like English letters. Here is my secret to Indian English. In Japanese gohan is rice. It sounds like go or cow or white and anna which means grain. Recipes I want to try: https://www.archanaskitchen.com/vegetarian-thukpa-recipe-by-saransh-goila-india-on-my-platter/amp https://www.cookwithmanali.com/thandai-powder/ Maggie masale noodles tastemaker and maggie masala e magic recipe https://hebbarskitchen.com/maggi-masala-powder-maggi-masala-magic/ Science and animals Hippos  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/09/27/what-do-hippos-eat/10303668002/

But, you can use any software of your choice.  Let's begin. You will find all the shapes used in this picture in MS Word in this way: Insert>>Shapes>> Face Select an oval.  To change the color of the oval, right click on the oval, you will find 'fill' and 'outline' options.  Choose any color of your choice. I have played around a lot with colors. I must insist that you do the same according to your tastes and requirements. Hair Here is how we use the ovals to assemble the hair.  Like this, also use ovals to complete the other side.  Flowers Let us draw a single flower then we will copy and paste it again and again.  Start with a circle.  Then draw two more concentric circles of colors you like.  Now add the petals using the teardrop shape.  Use another color to draw an inner...

Object oriented programming in dart concepts

   No introduction, let us go straight to concepts :-) What is object oriented programming? It is a paradigm that involves classes and objects. First, we will understand paradigms in detail then we will understand how object oriented programming falls in this framework. Then we will explore what are classes and objects. After that we understand object oriented programming in Dart language. So, keep scrolling to get crystal clear concepts.  What is a paradigm?
