Color could be considered a visual language. It can influence thinking and affect how humans act. Red can lead to anger, green can help create calm. Color can cause happy feelings, as well as sad. Some colors even cause a feeling of hunger! So how does color contribute to a person’s sense of identity and human social interaction? Student designers at The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland explored those questions recently at an annual fashion show. This year’s show was called ‘Hueman,’ spelled H-U-E-M-A-N. The name combines hue, another word for color with man as in human.
