Color As Feelings
Colors create feelings and physical sensations and can also convey certain actions or movement.
Bright colors are emotionally active and seem to move forward while cool duller colors are more "passive" and are best used as a background.
Colors make us feel a certain way. Think about the feeling, flavor, or emotion you would like your poster to convey. Then check out the list below to see how you can use color to help emphasize your poster's message!
