Popular Post michal247 Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 “Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” ― Wassily KandinskyDo you know why every water bottle is blue? Why every traffic “Stop” sign is red? It’s because different colors make people feel different emotions. Water bottle is blue, because it looks more trustworthy. Would you drink from a water bottle that it’s color is black? I would not even think about buying one. Every traffic “STOP” sign is red, so it will focus driver attention and make him more alert.I learned that when I was studying web design and Im still using it today on my websites. If i would be making layout for doctor’s website or payment service company I would totally go on blue with white. Ecology Party Website? There you go green, your turn…You can see color psychology used everywhere, because it’s so effective. There are artist, companies, politics that are using it.

michal247 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi, Is there any colour combination for engineering draftsman, just asking.Hi, your job is important and requires skills. I would recommend using blue to make you associate with trustability. Blue goes well with many colors, most important is that it needs to contrast. I personally love blue & white combination, as it looks professional and clear at the same time. 🙂 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fayyazfayzi Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 WOW, @michal247 , you’ve just stolen my words. 🙂I’ve done really great on Fiverr since 2017. But I realized when I changed all my gig images from mixed colors to blue and white with yellow bordered lines noticed a sudden increase in my sales.I love blue because I feel it’s more like a life-saving color. Literally this is what I do for my clients. I always go extra miles to help buyers as much as I can and make them feel relax.Well, thank you so so much, @michal247, for sharing such an amazing post.Keep it up. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhterrasool Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Simple and good post. But i suggest contrast and well balanced spacing between negative and positive. Some time we prioritise positive space and give least importance to negative spacing. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michal247 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 How about black and white for a voice over gig?I would not recommend this combination as black and white will not help you get noticed, which is important when it comes to gigs. I would go with yellow-white combination or yellow-black. You can also try something with orange, which would look great aswell in your particular gig. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagination7413 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Good recap!The use of colors in advertising was one of my favorite segments in my marketing class. I remember the chapter covering the topic was easily the second most referenced for the semester final group project. (Most referenced was the 4Ps.) Some good memories there, so thanks for the nostalgia!Some of the colors differ in meaning from what I remember, but I also recall there’s sometimes cultural differences that can affect a color’s meaning. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never received orders for the some colors I used. :thinking:😇 Can you give me an idea of the colors of my gig images? 😊 Great help!Hi @photocutter92,Your gigs may seem more technical, but I think that they will work better when you are gonna make them look more creative. Even if it’s only photoshop editing, it’s still linked with photography which needs creativity. And if your gigs will look more passionate and not just “Give me money I will give you work” it is always better i think. So I would experiment with bright colors like orange or yellow. When you will use bright colors you need to use dark font color, most likely black or dark grey so it will contrast properly. I personally love websites with orange main color and totally black (#000000 hex) as secondary color for text. But for your gig most importantly I would advise to make it more intuitive. I cover that topic here: Stop filling your gig image with informations!Hope that helps 🙂 22 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherboub Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I actually think your gig is really good. Red can be unfriendly color if used too much, but in your main gig image you use it just perfect. You can experiment with different colors of course 🙂I will try replacing red with gradient blue. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
