Drop that paintbrush, it's the Color Police.

Over the weekend the students in my BDS class were supposed to collect two images exhibiting good or bad use of color, or one of each. I chose to look on the bright side of life and find two designs that exhibited good use of color.



The Extra Virgin sign has good color usage 
because of its simplicity. The white elements are framed by bright green lines, which contrast not clashing. The olive branch through the words ties the borders in with the main body of the design.

Similarly to the Extra Virgin sign, The Greenhouse Culture sign also uses green and white in addition to the ochre accent. Green is such a good base color, and there are so many colors that go well with it and stand out without being harsh. The green is a good background so that the type of the words can be the focus of the sign, letting the message be clearly read.
