So what's Water Cooler Talk at EZOP?

Basically, it's that lexiconian phrase identifying the stuff we talk about or IM when we're taking a computer breather. (I mean, really. Who among us stands around a water cooler drinking cup after cup of water? Our water is bottled here at EZOP, sitting dangerously beside a keyboard.) I do like the catchphrase, though, even if it's out-of-date. 

Though our Water Cooler Talk can certainly be work-related, it can also be general life-style stuff we bring up casually to one another. Like..."Did you know so-and-so left such-and-such?" Or, "What are you making for dinner?" Or, "That's a cute haircut. Where do you go?" If you want to share something going on in your business (or whatever) to post on our Water Cooler email us!

Color matters.
Whether it's your business website, company brochures, print advertising or simply what fashion colors are trendy for work, play and back-to-school color is proven to play a pivotal role in all our visual experiences.

There are so  many sites that offer color trends. One of our favorite resources is Fashion Trendsetter. They publish color trends like the ones shown on the left from TFL and they also decode the colors using Pantone® solid coated. Pantone® is the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries.
