Re: [aworc-web-WG] Colors and meanings...

[Chat Garcia Ramilo <chat@apcwomen.org>]

Hi Justina,

Just visited the web pages below. I liked the article because it
illustrates the meanings and uses of the colors and shapes. It got me to
start thinking more deliberately about what we want to convey in the aworc
site and what shapes/colors to use. I guess a combination of an information
site which is also a community site -- so white without too much
distraction and warm oranges/yellows?  for trust and security. But what
about the shapes and colors that "speak to women and convey that this is a
women's site -- without using cliches? 

That's so far as my design sensibilities will take me tonight. Need more
time to ponder.

good night,

Chat
