I chose to display my findings for colour and culture on a map. I have drawn out a colour palette for each region that seems to occur in many areas on design not only those represented in the pictures shown. All these examples seem to rely on some stereotypical as well as easily recognizable imagery to set the country or continent the image represents and the colour seems to pinpoint it a bit further. All these images without colour, would specify a region, the colour sets the mood, gives the audience a further visual cue to geography.
The colour palettes seem to draw from many cues such as that culture’s design and/or art history (i.e. China, Native American/Aboriginal), the natural environments around that region (Africa and Mexico to some degree, the Tropics), and from the country’s flags (UK, Russia). It seems the hotter the climate, the brighter the cooler scheme.
