DESIGN OF THE WEEK

Analysis: Making the right color choice isn't always easy, but it goes a long way to successful design. What's great here is that the green hues align with the subject matter. Green is a big color in the safety industry. It is used to convey the location of safety equipment and when providing safety information. Imagine this is in an alarming red instead. A color choice like that may make the viewer subconsciously question whether the podcast knows what it's talking about.
