Colour is EVERYWHERE! It?s a non-verbal form of communication that decorates everything we see. It urges us to act, it compels us
to feel, and it tells us a story unlike any spoken word. We are drawn to colour when it?s skillfully used. That?s the reason why colour is
so essential to all kinds of marketing and media development.
This ebook looks at colour theory and some of the applications it has to marketing and media. It will give you an understanding of
how colour is used to invoke sense and emotion, and how it can represent the values of an organization or designer. Then, you?ll be
able to try out some projects with your students that will show them how to use the power of colour to its full effect!
