COLOUR
Over the past few decades, a lot of research money has gone into understanding the psychological effects of colour, and how it can be used to create moods, build brand identities, encourage consumption and, as in the TV ads and movies, support a storyline and generate memorable imagery.

Wednesday, May 22, 2019, 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Writing should be fun. You get to put your ideas on paper or on a screen, admire them and play around with them until they take on a personality of their own. It’s a lot like designing. But far too often, anxiety and uncertainty dampen your enthusiasm, and writing has the enjoyment squeezed right out of it.
If you’re an architect, help is at hand. You already have the creative abilities and the tools to be a good (even a great) writer – and to enjoy writing. All you have to do is learn to approach writing as a design problem.
