Color in Design | The Silent Salesman

Color in Design | The Silent Salesman
Have this post read to you in a natural voice:

Of all the forms of non-verbal communication, color is by far the most instantaneous method of conveying messaging and its meaning. Color stimulates emotion and drives decisions that we make. Color creates the first impression of any design when we view it.

We take color very seriously here at Eternity Web wether we are designing a logo, brochure, email campaign or website.
