Color effectiveness

This image was featured in this week's edition of Rolling Stone magazine. I couldn't find a camera to take a shot of the entire spread, but, as you can imagine, the magazine used the intense yellow from the guitar and mirrored it in a portion of the headline "Elvis Costello & The Attraction." Although the color isn't as vibrant or bright as other posts, this small bit of color works. Overall, the image is very dark and the guitar (and the musical bond it represents) is the only real color. But it grabs the reader's attention and is very effective in the overall design.

Color

The colors in the Barack Obama ad poster not only symbolize the American identity, but also help establish Obama's patriotism and the coming together of red and blue states to form one united nation. The two colors together highlight Obama's face and his message to the American people. Red is a very eye catching color and blue is a very warm color, so together they are extremely attractive to the eye. The white accents his facial features and adds to the patriotism of the poster.
