You Can't Miss: Blue Holes and thedesignwork.com

Blue Holes of the Bahamas:





















Colourlovers has once again found an interesting way to pick color schemes. Looking at the Blue Holes (areas of water that are different, usually darker, shades of blue than the surrounding water) in the Bahamas, the site posts color combinations of bacteria, cave shrimp, and of course the two blue holes pictured above. I find the inspiration for these palettes to be so beautiful and specifically unique to the natural sea life.

thedesignwork.com:







This website is a really large collection of posts featuring photos, demonstrations and tutorials as well as links to other design blogs. Some really excellent examples include the entries covering typography, 3-D animation in Photoshop, and blog designs.

It is a really fascinating variety of work that is being showcased. Work by design studios offer links to their website as well as visual representation of their site and current projects.

  1. Erica, I have to thank you immensely for introducing me to colourlovers. This site made choosing colors for my prototype so much more fun. I love that you can search key words and get a variety of different colors, and the fact that it gives you the rgb numbers makes it easy to create a swatch for future use in inDesign. Thanks again!
