There are some amazing examples of how colors actually affect our purchasing decisions. After all, sight is the strongest developed sense in most human beings. It’s only natural that 90% of an assessment for trying out a product is made by color alone. So how do colors really affect us, and what is the science of colors in marketing, really? As we strive to make improvements to online products, studying this phenomenon is key. Find some of the latest, most interesting research on the subject at the article link... Via Lauren Moss

PicLits.com is a creative writing and e-learning site that matches beautiful images with carefully selected keywords in order to inspire you. It is a forum for creative writing, social interaction, and can also be used as a teaching tool.
Louise Robinson-Lay's insight:
A simple but effective way of connecting language and imagery. With Piclits you can add words to the images you select. They are helpfully organized into nouns, adjectives, adverbs and other and some of the adjectives can be changed to their comparative or superlative form by clicking them. You can also capitalize the words for effect, say if you are writing poetry.
