]]> Comment on O21C ORANGE by AWOLtrends http://awoltrends.com/2013/04/o21c-orange/#comment-11111 AWOLtrends Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:12:59 +0000 http://awoltrends.com/?p=3898#comment-11111 That's an excellent point, Ms. Doll. One of the reasons it is so often used in traffic signage or safety gear is because the eye really alerts to this color immediately. It's like a magnet for your attention. Usually in these instances, it's the more fluorescent variety of orange. Also known as Day-Glo orange, this shade is still very on-trend and current, and is a good alternative to Pantone 021c.

Like traffic cones, construction signs, life jackets. I think this is because the eye is really drawn to this color. Those examples are more florescent than the orange you are talking about though.

I also wanted to tell you that I am from India, and I had read the trend tracking article and about understanding the trends from this part of the world. I have just graduated in product design, but presently it is kind of my mission to understand and practice Indian Design, mostly through developing products with Indian values in them. But presently the product development work happening in India is mostly inspired from western ideas and thoughts. I have done some work with respect to this and would love to share it with you. hey,

It exists within a broader aesthetic framework, full of similar observations of our aesthetic landscape. Design is a visual medium: we discuss these ideas by weaving them into our creative efforts, observing, borrowing, and inspiring others. You're free to discuss them either amongst your own creative circle, or here on AWOL Trends as a venue for everything aesthetically related. Hope that helps you grapple with your questions... JJ-

Is this counterpoint being discussed somewhere by designers as an intentional conversation about the direction of design? Just seems like a very definitive statement thats all.
