Colour theories in emotion

 Colour theories in emotion

In response to peer feedback, I decided to do some quick research into colour theories. This will help us inform the use of colour within the project, which will help the colour schemes align with the different letters people have submitted. This could either be printing in colour, or possibly using a coloured paper stock. I have also spoken to James at digital print, and he has said that the facilities are still open for students to use; hopefully this means that we will be able to print the final publication/ stickers at uni which will make our budget lower. 

It will be quite nice to have a colourful publication, as I think the black and white colour scheme doesn't have a strong conceptual link to emotion. It would be interesting to possibly use gradients for the publication/ instagram posts, as it would reflect the mixture of moods we have received from the submissions. In regards to this, would could possibly try creating a gradient map of all of the emotions, which would provide a overview of the emotions featured in the type; this could be quite fitting for posters or maybe a front cover? The main focus however, would be balancing minimal design with gradients, as we don't want to distract from the type too much. We'll discuss how we will go about this once we have received all of the submissions on Friday.
