Weekly Inspiration

If you have no idea where to begin on the color scheme for a project, check out the Color Scheme Designer. Easy way to pull out your favorite tetrad of hues.

Here’s a portfolio website for the designer-illustrator Luis Vazquez. He has a solid, spooky/retro illustrative style, as if you brought The Nightmare Before Christmas to the 50/60s. If nothing else, you can leave the window open and listen to the cool jazzy music while you facebook around.

Here’s another way of looking at Tufte’s “ink usage” principle. Save Pens, Use Garamond.
