It's about direction.
For "bring", the emphasis is on *the place you are going to*. You are bringing whatever it is *to* the location, to someone else who is *already there*.
For "take", the emphasis is on *the place you are coming from*. You are taking whatever it is *from* the location you are in.

Bring = giving. Take = taking away. Bring: "I'm bring food to the party." Take: "I'm taking some food home from the party."
