News: Color of the medication affects efficiency

According to recent research the color, shape, taste and even name of a tablet or pill can have an effect on how patients feel about their medication. Choose an appropriate combination and the placebo effect gives the pill a boost, improves outcomes and might even reduce side effects. Now, researchers at the University of Bombay, New Mumbai, India, have surveyed users of over-the-counter (OTC) medication to find out just how much the color of a tablet influences patient choice.

Writing in the International Journal of Biotechnology, R.K. Srivastava and colleagues report that red and pink tablets are preferred over other colors. Their survey of 600 people showed that for three quarters of people the color and shape of their tablets act as a memory tag for compliance. Strangely, they found that 14 percent of people think of pink tablets as tasting sweeter than red tablets whereas a yellow tablet is perceived as salty irrespective of its actual ingredients. 11% thought of white or blue tablets as tasting bitter and 10% said orange-colored tablets were sour.

Twice as many middle-aged people preferred red tablets as younger adults and more women chose red tablets as were chosen by men. Color seems to be integral component of an OTC product, the team says.

Patients may trust their doctor or pharmacist, but this does not mean they will take the bitterest pill. "Patients undergo a sensory experience every time they self-administer a drug, whether it's swallowing a tablet or capsule, chewing a tablet, swallowing a liquid, or applying a cream or ointment," the team says. "The ritual involving perceptions can powerfully affect a patient's view of treatment effectiveness." The researchers suggest that it might be possible to ensure that all the sensory elements of given medication work together to create positive perceptions that complement the medical attributes. They point out, however, that surprisingly little attention has been paid to this aspect of pharmaceutical formulation.

The research has implications for marketing OTC medication to different age groups and to men and women. However, given that compliance in taking medication strongly depends on the patient's perception of that medication the study could also have important connotations for improving effects. If patients are disinclined to take a tablet they consider bitter or sour or because they simply do not like the color, then a change of aesthetics might be needed. The same research might apply equally to prescription medicines.

Even color lovers have a preference of "pill" colors... Browse the Color Library to see what colors are more prevalent than others.

Code Hunters

Code Hunters is a 2006 CGI animated short film, Director: Ben Hibon, which directed the animated sequence in the current Harry Potter and the Deathly of death movie.

Working with stateless films and Flash link, Hibon worked to the CGI graphics graphic look and closer to 2-D drawing as the most CGI make, and the film has a nice mix of anime style and more rendered images.

The story of how it is contains a type of dystopian setting and not lick of sense make as far as I see that music.you is an explanation of the kind here but it is too boring for words.

The page on CGSociety is interesting, where there is a discussion of the film, which was originally made for a pro MTV Asia TV show called screen and meant a Prolog be for a longer work never developed.

It focuses in particular on a beautiful small 15th century devotional painting, Lacrime Madonna of Dieric bouts.

Color masters: Gene Davis's rhythmic color

Check out the Color Barcode Multiblend Generator (see examples here), which creates Davis-like veticle stripe multiblends from up to 99 different palettes from the COLOURlovers library. The generator was created by COLOURlover sero*.

Gene Davis was a member of the group of abstract painters in Washington DC during the 1960s known as the Washington Color School. The Washington group artist were among the most prominent of the mid-century color field painters.

Though he worked in a variety of media and styles, including ink, oil, acrylic, video, and collage, Davis is best known by far for his acrylic paintings (mostly on canvas) of colorful vertical stripes, which he began to paint in 1958. The paintings typically repeat particular colors to create a sense of rhythm and repetition with variations. One of the best-known of his paintings, "Black Grey Beat" (1964), owned by the Smithsonian American Art Museum reinforces these musical comparisons in its title. The pairs of alternating black and grey stripes are repeated across the canvas, and recognizable even as other colors are substituted for black and grey, and returned to even as the repetition of dark and light pairs is here and there broken by sharply contrasting colors.

Davis worked during the heyday of the 1960s Color Field, Washington Color School and Minimalist movements, yet his work provides a different kind of visual experience. Davis uses stripes as events. The intervals between the variously colored stripes incorporate both space and time. Color plays a key role as it adds a sometimes jazzy or syncopated rhythm in some works and a more restrained and diffused tempo in others. The exhibition’s co-curators, Jean Lawlor Cohen and Andrea Pollan, examine the inherent and varied musicality in the works through a focused presentation of works from 1960 to 1985. (Kreeger Museum)

In 1972 Davis created Franklin's Footpath, which was at the time the world's largest artwork, by painting colorful stripes on the street in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He also created the world's largest painting, Niagara (43,680 square feet), in a parking lot in Lewiston, NY. His "micro-paintings", at the other extreme, were as small as 3/8 of an inch square. For a public work in a different medium altogether, he designed the color patterns of the "Solar Wall," a set of tubes filled with dyed water and backlit by fluorescent lights, at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Street in downtown Washington, D.C. painted in Davis' style
Davis began teaching in 1966 at the Corcoran School of Art, where he became a permanent member of the faculty. His works are in the collections of, among others, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

New baby, new rooms: handmade coastal blue vintage dreamland

I spied this wonderful baby room back in July from a spectacular photographer we have featured on our COLOURlovers Wedding channel before in Creative Engagement: "Pushing Daises". Thanks again to Jordan Weiland for letting us feature another and yet, more personal piece of photography. This is her daughter, Autumn's room.

So much creativity was put in to this and yet it remains simple. I like the mix of vintage and modern with a little splash of imagination pieced here and there. I even love the blue, even though it's for a little girl. I always consider blue sort of a depressing wall colour, but this room has completely changed my mind on that. With the additions of some sunny yellow, warm furniture-brown and a hint of raspberry-red specs here and there - it all pulls together nicely.

Rather than simply regurgitate this post from Jordan's blog (here: "Autumn's Room"), I've gathered a few more snippets of information on what was used and links to where you can get things similar to what was used in this room.

I can't say it enough, I love love love the blue in this room!

Jordan used the colour Coastal Surf by Behr paint obtained from Home Depot (you can order a sample online here). As for the Harlequin Diamonds, she looked up how to do that online. Here is one tutorial for creating that diamond pattern on your wall by wallstory.wordpress.com.

Jordan also said that she hand-painted the white tree, yellow flowers and birds herself. From a few inspiration pieces she sketched and painted it. If you're not so crafty, you can also use pre-made wall decals from a variety of vendors: DaliDecals.com, blik or even a 'wall decals' search on Etsy will return fabulous results with shops like singlestonestudios' & NouWall, all selling great  designs.

The yellow owl (left) was purchased at Urban Outfitters. You can get in two colours yellow and light blue - Owl "Lantern" from Urban Outfitters. I came across this vintage Owl "lamp" on Etsy.com that almost looks like the Urban Outfitters one was modeled after. On a side, owl-related shopping note, I spied this way cute wooden owl wall hanging there too. The Owl Bank (right) was a great find at a thrift store. I did a quick search for an "owl bank" in Etsy's vintage section and got quite a few good results. I like the idea of a first "piggy" bank in a new baby's room.

The "Z-Z-Z's" are another cute element to the room appropriately placed above the crib. Jordan's mom gave her the Z's some time ago and she added the ribbon. I recently did a Halloween post that covers how-to make a hanging sign on the COLOURlovers HOME channel that could easily be applied to make your own hanging Z's. With a little ribbon, cardboard, glue and glitter you'll have your own in no time OR there is (drum-roll please) always Etsy. The best resource on earth! I loved this bunting banner by SignsOfVintage. There are endless crafters on Etsy who offer an array of banners for baby rooms. I just searched "baby room banner" in "Handmade". As always, you can always ask an Etsy crafter if they would be willing to custom make you something if you have something you want specifically.

Jordan got the old birdcage from her mom and made a lamp out of it with a kit from Lowes for about $15. I found a good resource for some cool birdcages that are actually pretty inexpensive from Save-On-Crafts.com. You could always paint it with a crackle or rough it up after to give it a chipped look. Here are some extra ideas on making the lamp itself - robomargo.com has some really creative assemblages and said they got their kit from IKEA for $10.

The shelves for the books are called Frame Shelves and are from IKEA. The rocker was a find that she painted yellow. I'm completely in love with the crocheted monsters which were homemade by a friend of hers. Here are some adorable owls from Pottery Barn that would be a cute addition if you were going with that theme. And of course as always, I did some Etsy digging and found these monsters by user CreaturesAndCritters and some other cute animals by user MsPremiseConclusion. I'm sure you could also contact either with pictures of a monster you would like to have made for a custom handmade item.

One of Jordan's friends gave her this blanket with her daughter's name all over it. If you can't find a name already in print like this, you can easily order custom fabric from Spoonflower.com, a partner of COLOURlovers. Using COLOURlovers' pattern maker Seemless you can simply create your own pattern with letters like the one above with Autumn's name and send if straight from COLOURlovers to Spoonflower - and like magic, you have your own custom lettered material. I designed a "George" and a "MANDEE" patterns using Seemless. If you want even more control over the lettering and design, you can make your design using any graphics software and upload directly to Spoonflower. It's pretty addicting.

Jordan's Aunt had knitted the dog on the left and the baby shoes were her dad's, Autumn's Grandpa, when he was a baby. The Owl Hook ($20) was from Anthropologie.com .

Overall, I love the incorporation of all the handmade and previously owned items throughout this room. I can appreciate all the specially selected pieces and decor chosen for little Autumn's new room. Thank you to Jordan for sharing all your hard work, creativity and new little blessing with us. Congratulations!

The fun in functional beta fire

2005 Chris Lindland began in the San Francisco-based firm Cordarounds with a simple few corduroy pants. But before you write that off as totally boring to look at, that these pants with a little innovation-a horizontal whales come.

Color red - Hung Liu - rhubarb tart

We're fortunate to have guest authors Megan Fizell & Cassandra Edlefsen share their collaborative colour series here on COLOURlovers. Their monthly colour project considers select artworks featuring one predominant colour within the context of the pigment’s history and in relation to natural edible form. Read more about the project at the bottom of this post. You can find the original articles on Feasting on Art. The one below is located here.

Hung Liu’s artistic production is a process of recollection – a symbolic excavation.  Having weathered the re-education of artists vis-a-vis Mao’s Cultural Revolution and immigration to the U.S. in 1984, Hung Liu’s influences are richly transcultural.  She is known as one of the very first Chinese artists to study within the U.S. and has since received numerous accolades for her dynamic work.  Starting from anonymous photographs (often of unnamed Chinese prostitutes), Liu’s portrayals pair elements of tradition with contemporary critique.  Vividly, her use of colour challenges her audiences’ emotive links to colour.  In an interview she gave in 1995, Hung Liu refers to her vibrant use of colour, particularly red: “Red is an alarming color. We use red lights to warn people; to tell about danger and to use caution.  In China, red is the color of the national flag. It is also the color of revolution; it suggests blood. Red also is used for celebration; it is festive and is used for such things as weddings, the Chinese New Year, and red banners. I like to work with layers of meaning.” (1)

Hung Liu, Yang, 2008

Quite literally layered, Yang, 2008, features a print of a prior work embedded in cast resin and superimposed with Liu’s signature use of historical Chinese motifs (here cherry blossoms) and thinned pigment dripped across the surface.  Liu’s repetition of the dominant red background in the red of the woman’s crowning flowers and more intensely in her set lips, draws on the colour’s innumerable associations.  Pairing a recipe to this painting requires a taste both strong and lingering – a rhubarb tart tinged with the spice of ginger and cayenne.  Like the wavering paint drips, the straight lines of the recipe’s fresh rhubarb stalks melt into stringy red and pink ribbons.  The bittersweet nature of the rhubarb paired with the delicately burnt molasses and speckled sesame seed crust recalls her subject’s strength of character and altogether tragic displacement in time – an otherwise lost history uncovered and commemorated by Hung Liu.

In parallel to Liu’s use of skills steeped in traditional technique and her constant reintroduction of layered meaning to her work, the classic rhubarb tart is brought full circle to its own origins.  The rhubarb pie of Western origin meets the plant’s Chinese heritage in its combination with a sesame and buckwheat crust.  Stemming from the buckwheat family, rhubarb has been used for centuries as a medicinal plant to cure a wide variety of ailments.  It is this curative quality that perhaps best links the recipe with this work as it compliments Hung Liu’s desire to create memorial sites for lost memories – both celebrating and mourning their subject.

Burnt molasses and sesame seed shells:

2 tst butter
1 cup sesame seeds
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup buckwheat flakes

  The colour of a food or dish plays an important role in its appeal. Before tasting a tomato, we know that if it is green, it is unripe. These inherent expectations of the natural colouration of the world around us present an interesting challenge to artists. To represent skin tones in a portrait or the light hitting the flesh of a lemon, the right combination of colours must be mixed to determine the appropriate colour recipe for each painting. Some artists disregarded the traditional mode of colour representation and beginning with the Impressionists, colour was used to communicate emotion and highlight ephemeral experience. Colour has since been utilized as both form and symbol, as means for subjective expression, as a conceptual model and even to evoke realms of contemplation.

The monthly colour project considers select artworks featuring one predominant colour within the context of the pigment’s history and in relation to natural edible form. By coupling the art with a colour-specific recipe, we continue to investigate the properties of the colour of food in both their raw and cooked states. Each colour will be broken into two parallel posts, the first featuring a still life painting of food with a literal recipe translation and the second a work that capitalises upon the emotive qualities of the pigment with a conceptual recipe inspired by the mark-making technique.
