week 11

1. What did our readings say about these colors?

Although I originally planned to incorporate light yellow into my page, so far my page is only dark pink, white, black and grey. These colors strongly impact how viewers perceive my site because while black and white barely hold attention, colors are much more effective. This made me realize that if I want to keep my black and white design, it's important to realize what I have in color, as that will be a focal point.

1. How do some of these color meanings relate - or not - to what you want your site to do?

These color meanings relate to my site because I need to learn how to attract my audience's attention and invoke certain feelings. The article about the "Business of Blue" made me realize that I am glad I didn't make just a plain blue site.

1. What was an interesting result to one or more of the colors you have chosen?

I learned that black and white is not really stored in our brains as well as color, which makes me question if that means my site will not be stored as well. However, I think I want to keep my black and white color scheme with the dark pink accent because I like how clean black looks.

1. Has your ideas about your color scheme changed or not because of our readings? Explain.

It has changed because I am now thinking the light yellow I planned on using wouldn't fit in very well.
