Every morning I find myself having a media breakfast way before I have an actual breakfast. This is what keeps me growing, learning and evolving as a designer. Here you'll find the components of that meal... and some random stuff on the side

I spot something orange

Okay so I've tried this a couple of times: A weekly photograph or two of mine. I can never do it more than a week, mainly because I have too many to choose from and always give up.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about colors the other day. I absolutely LOVE color and surround myself with it. We talked about how we tend to associate a color to a person. It turns out that mine time after time is orange. She wasn't the first one to link the color with me and my personality. So here I am, trying a new thing.... photographs of mine that have the color orange in them [whether dominant or not]. It turns out that I have a lot of them and actually have surrounded myself by accents of the color.




I went on to search the world wide web to see the meaning of the color. Some very interesting results came up.



Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

Dark orange can mean deceit and distrust.
Red-orange corresponds to desire, sexual passion, pleasure, domination, aggression, and thirst for action.
Gold evokes the feeling of prestige. The meaning of gold is illumination, wisdom, and wealth. Gold often symbolizes high quality.

Vivid dream


Last night I had one of the most vivid dreams I've had in a while. I was at what used to be my family's beach house back in Cuba. There isn't a single day that goes by that I don't miss the beach and the culture. It's been more than 10 years since we left the country and although I'm no longer associated with my family in any shape, way or form-- I miss Cuba and that part of me. I cannot wait until I can travel back and be able to bring Ian with me. I feel like he has been missing out sooo much on who I am and what has shaped me to be who I am today. And then this morning, I read this article on CNN... I hope it happens and that it happens soon!
