In
What a Beautiful World the great jazz artist,
Louis Armstrong, sings, "I see trees of
green/red roses, too….I see skies of
blue and clouds of white… The colors
of the rainbow so pretty in the sky."
When
you start thinking about your next newsletter,
brochure, business cards or presentation, remember
you have the whole world of color that Louis
Armstrong sings about. Color is the most powerful
tool you have. It sets the tone or personality
of a piece, it attracts readers the same way
a flower uses color to attract bees, and it
helps to direct readers to important information.
Studies
show that color attracts 50% more readers than
black and white. Color communicates ideas better
and faster, makes a lasting impact, and motivates
your audience.
