ingredients

I love the saying one of my teachers blurted out during critique last night.
He was going over how we're going to be incorporating color into our logos we are designing for our companies we chose to rebrand (I chose Aldo shoes).

He said
"If it's a color that's on the color wheel, it's not a real color - it's just an ingredient."


Because of this, I'm going to try to use a coppery green as one of the main colors in my new logo I'm working on.

I will post my work here, of course, when I'm done.

I love researching colors in fashion. There was a color in 1800's called arsenic green that glowed in the dark. It was deadly but people had to have it.

One author said that Napoleon may have been poisoned by his choice of green wall paper. It was made with copper and proved to give off a deadly gas.

Some people just die for fashion.

that's a really cool story…fashion to die for. I might use that in my tag line!
