Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have .People respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly. In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine or post on your website. Colors also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay. Of course that’s not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will respond and behave.

The next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave quickly like many of the fast-food establishments(企业)?That is exactly the response they want.

Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences;thus ,they will have another color reaction. In China, “white ” stands for death and in Brazil, it is the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond favorably to warm colors;people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America , green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (most popular ) is associated with trust ,responsibility, belonging and coolness.

This also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different kinds of customers .Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse(冲动的) buyers. Pink , light blue and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience this, why not click on the following large companies’ websites that have spent the funds on this type of research now?

Have you ever heard the phrase “we just can’t communicate”? Most people associate  communication with the ability to read or write well. This might not be the case as you will soon find out.

How many times have you been to the doctor’s office and listen to an educated professional explain something to you that is just meaningless. These people keep asking you , “Do you understand ?”and sometimes out of embarrassment because you don’t want to look like stupid, you tell them, “Yes, I do understand. ”This isn’t a good way to communicate either.

How do we communicate in a positive way to get our points across(使…被理解)? Ask the person you are communicating with if they understand what you just said, if someone is talking to you, then use the statement ,“Just to make Sure That I Understand What You Just Said”and then repeat back your understanding of their conversation. Sometimes just asking a few simple questions and clarifying your understanding can bring great benefits to any communication.

In some countries like Japan for instance , you might find them reading your body language more than the words you are communicating with. Sometimes just by the way someone stands or reacts to something you said, you can get a valuable insight to what the other person means in this conversation. Don’t forget however this  could lead to a misunderstanding also. Again if you think someone is communicating with their body language , try not to assume (假设)that you know for a fact what message they are trying to get across. Always ask them if they understand what you are talking about.

A person is responsible for what he says and to make sure that the other person completely understands the point he is trying to get across. Why not start using some of the simple skills used in this article to help with your communication skill, you will start to see the benefits within a short period of time.
