Colour Gamma: Adoption and Colour Theory


What is Colour gamma? And why should one apply colour theory to adoption?

 For visual arts, colour theory is the root and base of colour mixture and scheme; and explains basilar visual effects such as colour composition and matching. Mainly theorised by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johannes Itten. 

 An Italian saying recites - Not everything is one (white) or the other (black). When I use the term colour gamma, I mean choice ~ a range of opinions or experience. 

 Adoption has its own 'colour gamma'. It shouldn't be so hard to say that - Yes, colours matters! Diversity and freedom of speech matter and they need all colours. 

 Being the outcome of life experience, adoption is not binary, it is a complex but colourful index. Every adoption story matters, each with its own light and shadows.

They like to talk to their peers and express their opinion. The   tr igger event com munities  are looking for information and  trustworthy experts  to find answers to their questions.  Any virtual community is structured in three elements: members, influencers and experts - which uses specific platforms to connect, express opinions and share their or other p

The Italian Case: Breaking the Pyramid Down

Image
from Pxhere  ( https://bit.ly/2LX9H0r ) In my previous piece, ( Adoption Communities and the Social Media Pyramid ), I was telling you about  Virtual Adoption Communities  and their formation, constitution and position, in the social media pyramid established by Prof. Randy Hlavac [1].  I n the following paragraphs, we are going to look at t he whole  IAC  -  Italian Adoption Community -  the   " Italian Case"  - based on my personal experience.    As in Hlavac's, the IAC's social media pyramid has 6 levels  that can be analysed through function, population and focus .  Among the IAC , Facebook is the most popular medium; but it's not the only one. In  my interpretation, here is the breakdown by level: the first level belongs to " Social Networks"  / Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Quora and  (rarely) Twitter the second level consists of " News Aggregators"  / National Newspapers, e-journals, and e-magazines the third lev
