Use Bright Colors To Highlight An Entrance And Make A Statement

Sometimes you can walk straight past the store or restaurant yoursquo;re looking for without even realizing it, because it doesnrsquo;t have a great sign or it doesnrsquo;t grab your attention. Well, these two projectsare some interesting examples of how using color can help to draw your eye to anentrance.

First up we have the entrance to thePatch Theatre Co. This painted bright blue/green entrance was created by Australian design firmBlack Squid Design, as a way to let theatre patrons easily know where the entrance is. The design also reflects the theatrersquo;sphilosophy of lsquo;keeping the artist alive in the childrsquo;.

Next up, we have anart installation by multidisciplinary agency(fos). The installation was created for a restaurant in Madrid, and it was only there for a short timebut it definitely made a statement, especially when compared to the other doorways on the same street.

By using bright yellow tape, the artists were able to create a visual illusion of a light beam projecting from asingle lamp above the entrance. They also continued the light beam onto the artwork and outdoor furniture, and then onto the ground in front of the restaurant.

Therersquo;s no way you would walk past either of these places without noticing them.
