Let it swim
Saw this cool wall made with bunch of different wood – size, shape, colors, all different – and it was designed very well and caught my eye.
I think I can take this as an inspiration and make some pattern or something.
*the wall was found at Ippudo NY: couldn’t get in because there was an hour and a half waiting line. Supposed to be the best Ramen place outside of Japan!
I got lots of flowers last week for lots of happy occasions and these gerbera flowers, especially, are just so cute, they make me so happy and I just love the different shades of pink on yellow and green – I had to take pictures and take these colors as inspiration for projects in the future.
I use this online tool to generate the colors as a palette from a photo (you can link your flickr account, too, or upload it from your computer or place URLs) and here is the color palette from the photo above:
*The yellow wall doesn’t get translated as bright as I was hoping to be, but I can always tweak them on my own.
Here is another shot.
Sometimes, a photo creates such a beautiful color palette and it can be used for design project and I love that it’s sometimes a little surprising to see these because I would never normally put these colors together, but they work nicely. You don’t have to use them all, you can just pick a few, too.
For Wednesday morning inspiration. Have a great day, everyone!
This video is so cool – from Hatch Show Print in Nashville – I have to visit here someday. Very inspirational and I see the Vandercook press I’ve been using!
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but again, this book is highly recommended!
Found this cool wall at Starbucks around NYU. I was buying a coffee and saw this wall and I wasn’t thinking about my coffee any more! Love the combination of different shapes, patterns, drawings, colors… but it’s not crushing at each other, it’s working together nicely. How cool.
I am definitely taking this as an inspiration for the letterpress swap print!
