Emotional Branding & Design

USD 1,225 / AED 4,500 Per Participant

Everything has a colour. Colour is key to personal, emotional & customer experiences & reaches far beyond art & the decoration of space. It is connected to deeply embedded themes & patterns, either on evolutionary, cultural, or personal level through which it impacts well-being, health, & 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.
