Flickr Color Pick

Flickr Color Pick reminds me of the 'colorway' books which are a part of the Textile Collection at the Museum at FIT in New York. The books, which pretty much dictate what colors will be 'hot' each season, are published seasonally for designers to use in their creations.

Im not sure Flickr Color Pick would appeal to the traditional designer, simply because they don't choose the colors they work with each season. I can see it appealing to a modern artist, maybe someone who does collages of some sort. It would also be great for kids working on school projects of one kind or another.

If nothing else it would be interesting to pick a color according to your mood and see how the pictures relate to in any way.

This is an interesting, colorful image. Nice use of focus. Color can have a positive effect on us, so I thought I'd use this for this exercise.

p.s.- also contrasts nicely with the dots on this page.

Blogging at Work

This isn't my first foray into the world of blogging. I have blogged once before, and even thought about becoming a professional blogger. The trick is to figure out what to blog about, in other words, what do people want to read about? What is there about your life, your work, your hobbies that anyone else would want to read about on a regular basis? Judging from the plethora of blogs out there, from ants to zygotes, I suppose the initial question doesn't deserve much thought!
