10. What is your opinion of the colour scheme
red, white and black?
For this question I asked the opinion of 100 people and here is some of
the things they said:
• Davide Kelliher, ‘ This colour scheme is very affective because they
compliment each other.’
• Becca Weight, ‘I really like that colour scheme because it suits the
indie theme.’
• Lucy Davies, ‘ I think you should add a metallic colour because it
will stand out more therefore it will catch the eye of the buyer.’
• Heikel Edwards, ‘The three colours used are strong and bold but I
agree with Lucy that adding a metallic colour, for example silver,
will help it stand out.
