Breathtaking Sky Color Palette Photography

PauloGabriel — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:27:14 +0000

Color palettes really tend to catch my attention, now, when it's made entirely of sky photographies it really is something else. Eric Cahan has stepped outside the box and made some beautiful pictures, like these.

I don't think most people have seen something as beautiful as this, but I find these photographs simply breathtaking. Taken in several cities around the world, this is a truly great color palette. For more of these, you may visit Eric's portfolio. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)

One great way to get inspired is to not get inspired by the same type of work you doing, for example if you designing a website, don't look for web design inspiration but try to get inspired by something totally different. Here is a great selection that you can boost your imagination by looking at abstract shapes with beautiful colors.

Lively Illustrations by Andy J. Miller

amanda — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:35:15 +0000

Andy J. Miller's work instantly caught my attention mostly because of its liveliness than anything else. His work is so cheery and colorful that it's hard not to miss. His use of lines is nice too. Miller's portfolio is also pretty impressive in terms of doing it all. He has magazine spreads, posters, t-shirts, laptop skins, and even car decals all under his belt.

Go ahead and check out some of his pieces here and of course head over to his portfolio for the full Andy Miller experience and where you can also buy some of his t-shirts and posters among other goodies! You can also get in touch with me via twitter or facebook to tell me that you plan on buying me those really cute car decals as a gift ;)

Incredible Illustrations by Rubens LP

amanda — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:32:34 +0000

During my regular ventures through the thousands of good stuff on my Google Reader, one immediately caught my eye: Rubens LP. I instantly fell in love with Rubens' style. His use of lines, dots, and bright colors is different than anything I've ever seen. Rubens is a native from our home country of Brazil and the influence of the culture is pretty apparent in some of his pieces which makes me like him even more! ;)

My name is Rubens and I'm a brazilian guy passionate for lines, dots, colours, drawings, candies, friendship, sunny days…

Don't forget to check out Rubens' site and blog for more of his work! And let me know what you think via twitter or facebook :)

PauloGabriel — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:55:27 +0000

Following our hit series about Web Design, today I bring to you only awesome black layouts! Man, I love these... It's incredible how a layout can get beautiful with darker colors.

And of course, when you work with black, the right colors will bring just the right contrast. Lime-green, Orange, Electro-Pink... most shocking colors will bring awesome life to the layout. Of course, checking this sites you'll get to see many examples of how to apply colors in a black layout. Some of these are not pure black, 'cause if I start to name all the shades of black, grey and other monochromatic colors I'm gonna enter an eternal loop. So, I just hope you all enjoy my selection. Cheers!! ;)

And of course, the best black layout ever.

Awesome "Color Visualizations" Book

PauloGabriel — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:51:00 +0000

Dr. Woohoo!, a hispanic designer, made an awesome book about probably our favorite subject: COLORS! "Color Visualizations: Exploring the Circle, vol 02" is a great book that any person who loves great visuals should take a look at.

From this own words:

New Mexico’s finest – In search of the perfect color palette, Dr. Woohoo’s artwork explores the visualization of colors. Woohoo uses software he developed to generate his artwork by extracting millions of color pixels in each image, analyzing and organizing the color data and then building the composition with absolute precision.

Embracing the past, Woohoo uses archival pigment inks when printing the 16 x 10? (40.64 x 25.4 cm) single editions onto art-, rice- and japanese papers using a variety of techniques including underprinting, overprinting and gelatin transfers onto frescos.

The book includes over 100 new pieces, a discussion on color between Dr. Woohoo and Darius A Monsef IV, founder of COLOURlovers, and a secret web address that enables you to enter a private gallery that displays the final prints, special editions, as well as the opportunity to purchase the single editions.

Some of the work in the book:

a moment of serene perfection

captivatingly enraptured

To get more information about his work, just visit his site. There, you also get to know about a cool opportunity for the first 50 people who purchase the book directly from him. So hurry up!! Cheers. ;)

deviantART Colors: Yellow

PauloGabriel — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:38:38 +0000

During the last days, I was thinking about why deviantART had no communities for people with commom interests, such as Flickr groups for every possible subject. Well, I didn't know, but there are groups in deviantART, and they are FULFILLED with inspiration.

Unfortunately there's no join button, and it changes from situation to situation, like the Yellow Club, where you must watch the group and post their icon in your journal. And submiting is also not sensitive, you must send a not to the group with your work link. Besides that, the groups are all joy! Here is some Yellow inspiration for you guys! From both Yellow Club and AngeL-FaLL's journal (his journal is really awesome).
