Beneath the materials and symbols of human experience lies the quiet psychological workings of color.

Deeply interwoven within fields of color theory and aesthetics, color psychology offers itself as a spacious system of knowledge for creative practitioners in any industry.

With this accumulation of knowledge, how can the application of color be utilized to envision a future for our world that has yet to materialize?

03 Print Resources:

Embedded within innumerable cosmologies throughout time, we can find distinct perspectives on the symbolic and psychic applications of color. Artists and other creative visionaries have often been the pioneers of these color discoveries, and consequently have effectively stretched the web of human consciousness in many directions.

From the Upper Paleolithic use of red ochre paint in burial ceremonies to the modern day field of art therapy, color has continually served humanity as a symbolic and spiritual tool in knitting communities together and envisioning new pathways.

As creative practitioners in design fields, how can we think about the desires and needs of the consumer holistically and respond accordingly with color?

As the restructuring of our world begins to take place, the consumer landscape has evolved accordingly.

Trend forecasting suggests that humans will be looking to surround themselves with colors that can balance out the emotional instability of a world in flux. Similarly, they are projected to prefer purchasing products and supporting brands that are ecologically responsible.

Coupled with growing interest and participation in the wellness industry, these consumer behaviors are right in line with the needs of the natural and social systems around us.
