Image//Book Works//Yellow by Culture.



Finalising my research for my 'colour by cultures' content- looking at individual conuntries around the world and how yellow is represented/signified in that country. Possible considerations for design outcomes (what I'm currently thinking) include map vectors/logos and icons to represent the countries- I'll start designing as 
soon as possible! Also could consider the language element that I had previously researched for additional information (the translation of 'yellow' is written below each country name).
