I Got Koloroo!

It’s Koloroo! A widget for designers on the go! Yesterday, I downloaded Koloroo—a “handy color scheme widget for your iPod.” And it’s awesome. It’s no Adobe Kuler, and it’s not the Pantone Color Cue, but with 386 color palettes available at your fingertips for instant inspiration, a free color/design iPod widget can’t be beat. It’s an easy install. Once the program is downloaded and added to the... Read More

They can be used for anything: business cards, gift tags, product tags, tiny art pieces,... Read More

Mac Emergency!

In the midst of trying to remember a forgotten password for our photography site’s gallery admin login, I flustered myself so much that I tipped over my mug of fresh, hot coffee and managed to spill a tablespoon’s worth of robust Cafe Britt onto the lower right corner of the QWERTY portion of my keyboard.
