  1. I liked the idea of using black because one of the articles spoke about how black was a color commonly used for sophistication. Although I also with my whole creative self don't want to be that pretentious kid with a boring black and white business card so I was thinking of adding some light blue because then it would be a kind of playful/calming color what would offset the black. I think I might want to integrate the blue through the background or the light on the actual type writer.

  2. I think I'm going to use red as emphasis, it's seen as bold and imaginative, and that fits the appeal I'm looking for. While red will represent high energy, I will also add orange because it's a middle ground between yellow and red. Orange color represents confidence and creativity it isn't as bold. By using warm colors my brand will have an eye catching look and a bold statement.

  3. I think the colors that would best suit my brand would be cooler colors such as blues and blacks. Black shows boldness and seriousness and blue represents calmness. I think if my brand were to represent myself it would have to be more associated with these things rather than energetic and excited colors becuase I prefer being in the background more.

  4. As a logo designer, I know the colors have an important role in creating a visual identity. Each colors sent different messages to viewers. so the designer should choose the colors wisely.
