Color design of strategic brand images as a tool for psycho-emotional impact on the consumer

The article presents the results of the analysis of the use of color design tools from the point of view of psycho-emotional impact on consumers when creating strategic brand images. The main psychological motives for buying branded products are increasing personal influence on others or retouching uncertainty by “putting on” branded “armor”, which finds its support in the background motives of shocking, prestige, attracting attention, status. With the help of branded items, the buyer advertises himself, increasing (even if only in his own thoughts), thus, his significance and status in his own eyes and the eyes of others. The personality, as it were, enters into the image that the branded thing carries, it is like a “case”, a recognized prestigious “mask” for a person, which allows you to “try on”, transfer prestige from a branded thing to a person, and thus feel superior. more unique, more interesting than others. It is important to remember that when creating a brand, it is necessary to take into account not only the physical properties of the product, but also the feelings evoked in consumers. Concentrate not only on consciousness, but also on emotions and subconsciousness. And since the language of the subconscious is the language of emotionally colored images-symbols, color design plays a huge role in shaping the perception of not only a branded product, but, in principle, any object of the surrounding world. From the point of view of physical perception, colors are created by light waves of various lengths and represent a certain kind of electromagnetic energy. The presence of such a characteristic as the wavelength, which is the number of vibrations per second (and in fact, the rhythm, which makes the color effect akin to the sound, musical effect on the subconscious) for each color have individual frequencies. Thus, in the image, as a unit of the language of the unconscious, sound and color are closely intertwined through the wave rhythm.
