week 11

picture no 2:
this is my cat, Idun. She has the most beautiful green eyes in the world. They are in different shades all over, with a gradient of yellow surrounding it.

week 11

Picture no 1:
Took this picture when I were walking around in kits. The colours just popped out and it was impossible for me to just walk away without capturing it on camera.
It's one of those moment when it's just a lucky quincidence that those colours happend to get close to each other and match so well together. Saturated.

couldn't resist. this is another picture of a cherry blossom tree (I think?), but this is the more white and fluffy kind. gorgeous anyway.

.. and suddenly all you can see in vancouver is pink, pink, pink. cherryblossom trees everywhere. they are beautiful and gives me inspiration. it's funny how nice it is with pink trees and a clear blue sky, compared to how ugly I think it is on a shirt.
Somehow, nature can never be cheesy.
Maybe it's the bad attempts to recapture those beautiful combinations on a cloth, and turn them into everyday ordinary things, that makes it awful.

week 9

Still website design.
This is a very brave use of colours. This page has a lot of information that needs to be there,
and at the same time uses strong colours and pretty dark ones to.
If I just heard of it without have seen it, the thought of dark colours combined with a lot of text in different sections, is rather scary. But this design creator managed to do it well, and I think this page looks like a digital fairytale.

week 9

picture no 1:

we're talking about doing layout for websites right now, and how
to use colours to guide the viewer, and to maintain consistance and
interest.
here's sparrowhaus' page. they are a design firm, and they use a minimalistic
design with very calm colours. I totally adore whitspace and the careful use
of a stong colour - just putting it in on a few places. If you hover over those
links, they turn blue, as the blue in the logo.
NICE!

week 8

Picture no 2:
This picture is a screenshot from a friends website, they have a Hoya (the flower) website and have a lots of pictures in it, so this is all links, but all the tiny pictures of the leaves in different shades of green is so esthetically pleasing, I just like to watch them together as this.
It's really true that green makes you feel good, calm and inspirational.
