Colour Lovers - inspiration is at hand!

ColourLovers.com

As our regular audience on BifSniff dwindles (hello Googlers!) it’s nice to know exactly who each post is aimed at, and this one is for janie :D

ColourLovers.com is both a brilliant and beautifully designed site.

I haven’t even begun to explore half the functionality, but I have been using it to develop colour pallettes when designing. During the design process you can get pretty colour jaded and lose sight of what’s working and new ways of discovering colours.

ColourLovers allows you to use a photograph as a point of reference and begin to build a pallette based on the colours in the photo. It’s pure genius and gets the creative juices kickstarted if you’re in a rut!

Here’s my profile, I’ve only just begun to use it, so my pallettes are limited, but I am getting the hang of it!

Also, I found a great tutorial linked to on ColourLovers which shows how to create repeating patterns. Cool.

Conor Power is looking for a job. Just thought I’d plug that since he put me onto this Pulp Fiction Typography. Nice.

I want one.

Bulb with dummy cap

A bulb with a dummy screw in cap so it looks cool. From these guys, 100% (a Japanese Design firm), who also have an umbrella which stands on it’s own which I think is also excellent.

Beautiful Cork Based Poster Design… you know you want some.

Last KrispieVeroda

On the left, the poster for ‘The Last Krispie’ (a film by Ed Godsell) designed by Brian Barry. On the right, the poster for ‘Veroda Client, The Great Egress and Circus Cat’ gig at the Triskel, designed by Sarah Jane Power.

Both friends of mine, both brilliant. Please click on the posters and go and leave a comment on their sites to tell them you think they’re brilliant too.

Oh and if you need posters designed, contact them!
