myPANTONE ~ iPhone App
Check out this cool app for our fellow visual designers, myPantone. Looks like it can be helpful for web, fashion, and interior decorators as a “color memory” app. You can create your own color palettes, it also gives you harmony and cross-reference colors. We know screen colors don’t match printed colors, so looks like we’ll have to keep updating our PMS guides. Great, now we can facebook color schemes to my friends, just don’t make a fan page, I won’t add you.
Top 5 FFFFOUND ~ June 2009
Here’s our top 5 from ffffound.com!!
Yulia Brodskaya ~ PAPERgraphic
Anxiously waiting for spring to return, we found something fitting for the seasons change. Luckily for us, the exquisitely detailed works by Yulia Brodskaya have done much more than remind us that sunny weather is just around the corner, her works opened our eyes and reminded us that beauty IS in the details.
Born in Moscow, Yulia moved to the UK in 2004 to follow her creative instinct and study textile painting, origami, collage and fine art. Her blend of typography, paper and highly detailed illustrations set her on a pedestal all her own. Her work has been featured by Starbucks, Nokia (in Spain), Blender Magazine and New York Times Magazine, just to name a few. Yulia welcomes the hybrid of illustration with graphic design to create a masterpiece that is truly something worth looking twice at.
One of the most important elements of her designs is the fact that you can see the organic hand-made quality in everything she produces. For those of us stuck behind a keyboard all day, we should remember that beautiful things can be created the old fashioned way. So maybe put the mouse down and pick up a colored pencil and see what happens when you engage with the surface of your paper. CREATE!
