If you have been to the Vietnam Memorial, you know what an amazing work of art it is. A wall of names as far as the eye can see in a reflective marble that allows the visitor to see their own reflection in the names on the wall.
Our photography teacher told us to look for the opportunity to add a dash of color to create a contrast in the picture. So when I took this picture I found a section of the wall that had been decorated with a single rose. Note the reflection the rose makes. The simplicity of the single rose speaks of the love that someone must have felt for a name etched in the wall close by. Was it a relative of Robert Staley or Larry Tolliver? I don't know, but that rose made me pause and pay closer attention to that section of the wall.
Adding a dash of color to your communications will also add to its impact. You might select colored paper or well chosen colored font to make certain points stand out in your message. Adding graphics or photos that enhance your message will also make it more appealing to the reader. A more visually appealing message increasing the odds of it being read, understood and acted upon.
So add a little color to your communications.
