Meaning of Color-Creating a Color Brochure

There are 6 panels in the brochure:

1. Cover/Title Page
   Make sure to include your name, Multimedia I, Ms. Kohmuench, and your block
   You can create your cover using wordle.net
   Go to: http://www.color-wheel-artist.com and choose your color. Copy the positive (if you wish also the negative) words that are associated with your color. Paste them in wordle and you are set. If Wordle doesn't work for you, you can try another "wordle type tool" at http://www.techlearning.com/default.aspx?tabid=67&entryid=364
2. Color Swatches and their meanings.
3. Cultural Meaning
4. Psychology of color
5. Interesting Facts
6. A topic of your choice

To research your color you could......

• Check out the color books on our M drive
• Visit http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-meaning-symbolism-and-psychology/
• Google search- meanings of color (you'll be surprised at how many results you get!)

Tips to keep in mind when designing your brochure!

• Use color to focus attention on your main points and to improve the perception of quality.
• Avoid trying to jam too much information into a small space. In good brochure design, less is more.
• Don’t overlook the value of white space to bring a clean look to your design and to help accentuate key points.
• For readability, consider using a serif type for body copy. Studies have shown that serif type is easier to read. Sans serif type is good for headlines and subheads.
• Limit the number of font families you use. Don't use more than 3 font families in your brochure project.

"Trident wanted to make the point that chewing gum can keep you focused on the important things in life. One thing that distracts people from doing so is technology, so the brand tapped Party New York to create something that will help keep folks' social media and tech addiction in check: a clothing collection that shields radio frequencies. The result? When devices are stashed into shirt, pants and accessory pockets, their ringing and pinging are disabled so that wearers can focus on real life around them."
