I think it would be good if the brown colors would be used on a different way,
maybe more a desert kind of theme with colors like sandy brown and also green
from a cactus.
Also using more 3d in the artwork wouldn't be a bad idea. I prefer calling this
just 3d because you can create more 3d
Now, I'm certainly no expert, so I don't want to claim any expertise on
the subject. However, I do have two suggestions to add to the
discussion. First of all, in my experience, I certainly do seem to have
a psychological reaction to certain colors. I think all of us have
experienced this

Again, this is rather Western centric. Remember, as of two years ago
some of the most lauded designers were popping up in Starbucks and like

schemes? That's right -- _brown_. They won a boatload of awards

Hi,
