After seeing your first presentations, I’ve noticed that some of you struggled developing a good color palette for your projects. Here’s a good place for you to start:

Explore, create and share color themes

Discover Adobe® Kuler™ — the web-hosted application for generating color themes that can inspire any project. No matter what you’re creating, with Kuler you can experiment quickly with color variations and browse thousands of themes from the Kuler community. You can access Kuler from any Adobe software. Go to Windows>Extensions>Kuler

Color lovers, we love you!

COLOURlovers™ is a resource that monitors and influences color trends. COLOURlovers gives the people who use color – whether for ad campaigns, product design, or in architectural specification – a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews.

    Per our discussion last class, here’s a great example of Lateral Thinking. In the interview he mentions John Bielenberg (Project M) — I met him during a workshop in Hunt, TX. John is a big time thinker and support of de Bono’s concept on the same matter. He calls it “think wrong”.

    Glad it helps, Brittany. That’s just an example of how you can create an idea file, or a collection of designs for research. You can create many others based on a variety of themes (type, letterpress, patterns, etc.). Check out a few that I have selected from Dribbble users: http://dribbble.com/nilsantana/buckets
