I went to the store yesterday, of course with my camera, and started taking pictures of anything that caught my eye. My family ignored me, my in-laws wanted to know why I was taking pictures of food and the customers thought I was a snitch from the Health Department. Whatever it was, I had fun.
I took quite a few pictures and as I downloaded them I noticed the one thing they all had in common.
Most the photographs I took were either red or orange. Why is that? Does that mean I'm just drawn to those colors or are these colors the most “sellable”. There's got to be a study on what colors are more marketable then others.
Ok - I took this picture because I like chocolate. It has absolutely nothing to do with the color!
Fabulous colour! x
ReplyDeleteI've never taken the camera to the grocery store it must have been interesting to see the reactions of fellow customers.
ReplyDeleteIt was comical but as a Designer, you have to think outside the box. Viewing things a bit differently provide an opportunity to blog about things not usually seen or read on other blogs. After a while, it you read enough design blogs, they get a bit redundant. It's hard to find new material but a trip to the grocery store or a glass of wine late in the day always helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly and Beach House for the comments!
I suspect you were getting hungry, looking at all the good stuffs;)
ReplyDeleteA visual communication specialist once told me, all food packaging that are red are appetizing!
But I agree with you, nothing inspires more than getting out there:)
I just love your blog...so much fun in learning, why didn't I have teachers in school like you I wouldn't have wanted to leave!
ReplyDeleteKathy - what a sweet thing to say! Isn't it true though? A good teacher will make it fun it turn you will learn more! Everything boils down to education and experience.
