MODULE DESCRIPTION
Everything has a colour. Colour is key to personal, emotional and customer experiences and reaches far beyond art and the decoration of space. It is connected to deeply embedded themes and patterns, either on evolutionary, cultural, or personal level through which it impacts wellbeing, health, and decision-making in essential ways, not least because vision has replaced odour as the most essential sense for survival.

What is most striking is that colour meaning is often ignored in Western design although it provides an invaluable source for informed design decisions, which are genuinely independent from subjective taste or contemporary fashion trends.

This three-day Module will address keys of colour in communication:
• Recognizing the meaning of colour on an evolutionary, cultural and personal level
• Differentiating between physical and emotional dimensions of colour
• Instrumentalising colour in branding, design and communication
