Design Forecast for 2008-Bense Garza
January 13, 2008

Color acts as a metaphor for diversity. I see a continued use of ethnic-influenced hues emerging for 2008. People are more socially aware today than in the past and are exposed to many cultures and color traditions. A global movement toward peace, health and well-being brings blue, green and yellow to mind. The color blue tends to have a calming effect that counteracts chaos and agitation; green is the color of nature and one that says growth, balance and harmony; yellow denotes joy and happiness and creates a cheery and uplifting effect. Looking ahead, I personally feel that these colors will be popular with consumers.
