Making colours work...


Choosing the colours for 'Creative Beauty' s website was quite challenging as the clients original  brief didn't outline any colour specifications. She had sent some pictures of the salon with the brief and it had a vintage 'shabby chic' feel so I decided to use browns and mink as these are very relaxing colours and fitted well with the salon image. However, the client then decided that she would like to go with a hot pink and black theme. I wasn't very happy with them colours as they aren't very therapeutic and don't really suggest 'salon' when you see the, but tried them out anyway and added in grey as well to make it a little brighter but this didn't work very well as it looked too basic and not very sleek and stylish. The final design was all black with highlights of hot pink. Despite what I first thought it actually looked really chic and did look like a salons website. Both me and the client were happy with the outcome of the final website.
