THE THURSDAY POST: COLOURS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

BLACK

Black

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death').
Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). Black is the symbol of grief.

Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner.

When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.

Know your colours well!

COLOURS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
YELLOW

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.

Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy.

Yellow is often associated with food.
Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.
Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning.Also, yellow indicates honor and loyalty.

Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design.
Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color.

Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.

Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy. 

Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy.

Colours speak louder than words

BLUE

Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body.It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness.

You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids, vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water).

As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.
Blue is a masculine color; according to studies, it is highly accepted among males. Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability; it is a preferred color for corporates.

Avoid using blue when promoting food and cooking, because blue suppresses appetite. When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs; for example, blue-yellow-red is a perfect color scheme for a superhero.

Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.

Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.

Colours speak Louder than Words

RED

Red is the colour of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense colour. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a colour found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent colour to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This colour is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Light red represents joy, passion, sensitivity, and love. 

Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.

Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.

Brown suggests stability and denotes masculine qualities.

Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.

DREAM CATCHERS

In some Native American cultures, a dreamcatcher is a handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loosenet or web. The dreamcatcher is then decorated with sacred items such as feathers and beads.

Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.

THE MAKING OF DREAM CATCHERS:

When dreamcatchers were originally made, the Ojibwe people used willow hoops and sinew or cordage made from plants. The shape of the dreamcatcher is a circle because it represents how giizis- the sun, moon, month- travel each day across the sky. There is meaning to every part of the dreamcatcher from the hoop to the beads embedded in the webbing.

The small outlet in d middle of the hoop is to allow the good dreams to pass through,  while the bad dreams are cought in the web, which disappear when sunlight hits the web.

The feathers hung at the bottom of the dream catcher, allow the good dreams to slide through softly onto the person asleep and protects them from negativity.
The resulting "dream-catcher", hung above the bed, is used as a charm to protect sleeping people, from nightmares.

Believe in it; and it shall be.

WHAT IS KRAYONISM* ?

#Krayonism*

Krayonism is an emotion. Krayonism is reaching out to someone through the medium of Art. It is the obsession for creativity. It allows you to open new aspects of your mind that reach out to the heart.

We all have an artist within us. It is not about being an expert at oil paintings, or a pro at acrylics, or a master at charcoal paintings and painting abstracts that we dont understand. It is not about possessing a Masters in Fine Arts degree, it is about the passion in finer arts, ideas, things that do not fix in a box, quirky inventions, kitsch designs, creative innovations. It is about doing everything that makes you really happy. Something that you'd come back home for.

Krayonism* is a state of rapture, an enigma. Pick a crayon today, close your eyes and feel what your mind tells you.
Krayonism* is Exploring your identity. And what better way, than pouring your thoughts out through the medium of magic called Colours!
