Today I got a comment on the first part of this post. The question asked was why I hadn’t added the color orange. Good question I thought by myself. Below you’ll find the answer.

Orange

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

Last week I suddenly received a email about a photo I uploaded on SXC. Permission was asked to use the photo of the coat rack by Osler. Osler is a law firm situated in Canada. The purpose of the photo was for a company lobby welcome sign. I asked for the end result of the usage end yesterday I received it!

I’m kinda proud of the fact a photo I made is used in a country across the ocean. Below you will find the end result.
