Oh Happy Day 0703

colormehappy

Happy Friday, again! This Friday is especially full of fun for me since I’m spending it with my three gifts! I’m thrilled to enjoy a holiday weekend and the extra time to spend playing with trucks, reading stories and pulling things out of Baby Girl’s mouth. Our first little cute tooth is BIG NEWS around these parts! Happy Exhibit A.

Happy Exhibit B comes in the form of a little shameless self-promotion. During the month of June, I had the opportunity to write some articles about color theory for BrightHub.com. They highlighted some of the cultural and emotional associations generally made with each primary and secondary color, and offered considerations on how to use each color in successful design work. It was very interesting for me to research the articles, and I wanted to share them.

Did you know that seeing red causes an increase in adrenaline production, heart rate and blood pressure?
Or, that yellow is universally associated with the sun in almost every culture?
What about the fact that orange is seen as the hottest of all colors in temperature?
Did you know that people tend to be more productive when working in a blue room?
Or, that generally no two greens are perceived to “clash”?
Do you agree that purple signifies eccentricity, artistry and royalty?

Take a peek through the links and add some color to your Friday!
