Turning the Art of Color into a Science

How do I supply Color Choices?

The Wonders of Technology.

Think about the amazing creative aspect of color in our lives. Everything that we ever purchase comes in colors. Clothing, cars, food containers, shampoo, makeup, computers, telephones and office equipment, kitchen cabinets, flooring, window coverings, woodwork, wallpaper, countertops, even...garbage cans and trash bags. We have represented all of these products and more through the use of color representation to effectively market goods. Options for how to do this are as endless as the creative designer's mind...color cards, color pieces that can be cut or torn apart, fan decks, stripe cards, die cut shapes, colors and cards with holes in them to overlay other items, pocket folders, mailing pieces, display racks and "shelf talkers" for mass retail, calendars, flip charts, books and catalogs, perforated and striped pieces, vacuum sealed pockets, notebooks, boxes of color, etc...
