Let's say your top + bottom colors are white + yellow (they might not be, just replace white + yellow with your preferred top + bottom colors).
Let's take a white corner on the white side. The correct orientation, clearly, is white facing upward (assuming white is the top side). What's clockwise + what's counter-clockwise? Well, look head-on at the corner in question, so you can see all three stickers. See if it's twisted once clockwise relative to the correct orientation, or counter-clockwise. If the correct spot for white is at 12 o'clock, then being twisted clockwise means it's at 4 o'clock, and being twised counter-clockwise is 8 o'clock. The same thing goes for yellow corners on the yellow side. What about white corner on yellow side? Well, just pretend that the yellow center is white and follow the above rules. And, again, same goes for yellow corner on white side. What about corners with white AND yellow, or corners with neither? Er...they don't exist (assuming your color scheme has white opposite yellow) Hope this all makes sense; it's easy once you get used to it, don't worry.
