COLOR: VISUALLY APPEALING

This week I would like top to think about how color affects the decisions you make.  Many of us are attracted to specific color combinations.  Because of this attraction color is a very helpful in sales and marketing.  Consumers love attractive packaging designed with amazing color combinations.

In this same manner, graphic artists love to work with color because it is appealing to the eye.  Website designers are always looking for the best ways to attract people to their websites.  The link below will take you to a website that has various samples of website designs.
