One often-overlooked element of design is color. Color has the power to influence a viewer’s perceptions in some amazing ways. Sure, a certain color might look nice, but what about the psychological impact it has on the viewer? Does a certain color make the brain happy as well as the eyes?

“Bah!”  You say. “I don’t care. Yellow is my favorite color and we’re gonna use it!  Yellow everything!”

Greetings Friday people! This week we've got kids and pets dancing and singing, plus 2 great creative minds.

Enjoy!

Few reality show stars speak to us as loudly as Jeff Lewis. Originally he appeared on Bravo’s series Flipping Out, and now has a new series called Interior Therapy.

Greetings and happy Friday to you, GLAD WORKS friends!  In celebration of the weekend, we bring you some Cool Stuff.

Enjoy!

Andre: I dare you not to get sucked into looking at every one of these old pictues from the NYC Municipal Archives.  They're riveting!

Patti Stanger, owner of The Millionaire’s Club, is known as the Millionaire Matchmaker. On her reality TV show of the same name, she helps millionaires who are unlucky in love find meaningful relationships. From watching her show and thinking about her expert dating advice, we couldn’t help but notice how similar business relationships are to dating relationships. What’s especially interesting to us, is how Patti’s advice for the unlucky in love is also good advice for young entrepreneurs who are just learning the do’s and don’ts of working with clients and customers.

Whoa! 

Where did the week go, GLAD WORKS friends? 

To start your weekend off right, here's some cool stuff we found in our travels through the Intertubez.

Brittany: I'm a little sad about the overarching theme of women and kitties not getting along, but otherwise, this is pretty cool artwork.

When they’re not busy ripping out each other’s hair extensions, flipping tables and planning disturbingly expensive weddings, there are a few nuggets of business wisdom that can be gleaned from watching the Real Housewives on their reality TV shows.

Greetings GLAD WORKS friends! You know what day it is, and you know what that means...COOL STUFF!

Andre: This is seriously amazing footage shot from a tiny remote control plane. It makes me want to get one so I can try it. 

Today’s post is part one in a series about the realities of business, or, what reality TV shows can teach us about business. Up next week: The Real Housewives! But first, let’s take a look at Celebrity Apprentice, shall we?

It's that time again, Friday people! We're super stoked to share what we found on our travels around the Internet this week! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kick yourself for taking toys out of the box...
