You Can't Miss: A New Color Wheel and Noteslate

Colourlovers explored an array of gray on April Fools Day, and posted this "helpful new color wheel." The blog explored reasons to use more gray - saving money, time and emphasizing the overlooked and underused. There were even photos of an elephant's butt, a mustache and beard, and a gray sky to really show off the color.




























Noteslate is this cool new gadget that is essentially a drawing tablet that one can take notes on. I think that it would be a really awesome thing to have when trying out ideas for new designs. Being able to sketch it out on a grid or sample some illustration designs would be so convenient! Not only does it act like pen and paper, but you can save and share your pages. Cool, right? Some of the models even have different color choices for the pen (just at a click of the button.)

  1. Noteslate seems really interesting. I'm not really the best hand-drawer, so I typically design on the fly without sketching, but gadgets like these make me want to draw.

  2. That's really cool! People and their inventions. I think it would be awesome to be able to sketch an idea out on the actual size page. It might save a lot of time in the future when actually putting it on the computer.
