Want to be Part of a New Online Surface Pattern Designer Directory?



If you haven't already discovered it, there is a new online directory called The Little White Book of Surface Pattern Designers.

On the 'About' page, The Little White Book of Surface Pattern Designers is described as "a new online directory offering a colourful but more importantly, useful tool for agents, journalists, design focused bloggers and manufacturers that are looking for new, creative talent in this particular field. The directory lists a broad spectrum of international designers and artists who retain their autonomy. Each designer's listing shows a visual taster of their design style along with their relevant contact information, enabling them to be contacted directly."

The first edition has been put together very nicely; I would love to see more thumbnail images from each designer, as it is hard to get a clear idea of what a designer is about from one image. I also wonder if it should be arranged alphabetically. The project is just in its infancy and will no doubt evolve, and on the whole I think it is an excellent resource. There is a small fee to be included, which is more than reasonable given the amount of time it must take to compile and market. The second edition is due around March/April of this year. If you would like more information, please click through to the Find New Designers site to register your interest.

Seriously Good Reading! Inspiration for Print Designers: Link Digest 3.0




'Let us Enjoy This Fleeting Moment'; Omar Khayyam  Design Copyright  © 2013 gobennygo. All rights reserved.
Last year was so crazy-busy, with a new baby and a chatterbox three-year-old; life felt so chaotic I'm not sure I remembered to enjoy it. This year I would like to take time to notice the little things, slow down, enjoy this very precious time with my two little ones. I put together the design above as an experiment in hand lettering, and I used elements from one of my recent pattern designs. If you would like to see the complete mini-collection, please visit my other blog.
Here are a bunch of links to some excellent articles and posts that I've been reading this week:

Interested in product packaging? Check out the Top 100 Posts from 2012 on The Dieline. And be sure to check out The Fox With the Golden Fur from their archive. I am totally blown away by this stunning concept. Chocolate, books, and art all in one astoundingly beautiful and clever package. It just doesn't get better than that!

There's always great content at Patternbank. Here are a few artists, showcased recently, that I really liked :

Coloring websites - 10 online tools!




Selecting colors and proper application of them is an essential skill of a good web designer. We know that the colors used in a website are a major factor affecting the traffic received to that particular website. A visitor would not mind spending some time viewing a website which is attractive and not a disturbance to the eyes. If the colors used are not skillfully combined to comfort the visitors’ eyes, they will tend to leave the website very quickly, even though that website has a lot of great content. It is important to remember that you need to present information to the reader in a readable and a comfortable way.

In this article we are going to discuss about some useful online resources which helps to generate combined and matched colors easily that can be used in a website.

01 . Color Combos

This tool allows webmasters to test different color combinations. Also you can grab the colors from any website.



02 . CSS Drive

You can upload any photo you have and generate a color palette based on the image.




Select your desired color from the wheel and it will generate the matching colors to use with that particular color. This is useful if you are designing a website based on a theme color. For example you might have to design a website for a company which has a green colored logo. Then obviously you know that the base color should be green. You can select Green from this color wheel, and it will generate the other matching colors for you.




This tool is useful to generate some random color combinations. You can spin the wheel and it will randomly select three colors from nearly sixteen million colors available. Personally I do not recommend this as a color combination generator because it does not consider the matching quality of the colors generated. 



This is another image to color pellet generator tool.



This is another tool to generate a matching set of colors. You can get six matching colors including the base color you select. 





This is another tool to create color pellet from an image.







You can use this tool to match colors for your website based upon a basic color of your choice.



Choose a preferred color using the color picker, and a 6-color matching palette (a "blend") will be automatically calculated.





A nice tool with a 3d interface

Welcome to Website of Designers!



Website of Designers

First of all I welcome you all to my new blog, The Website of Designers!

I started to write this blog a few months back, but unfortunately I did not have enough time to create new posts and update this regularly (Because I was very busy with the work). So the site was dropped at the very beginning.  But still I have been writing a blog about my country, Sri Lanka in my free minutes.  It was actually a part of my busy schedule and that was the reason for me to move from here to there.

After everything, I managed to find some free time, and I thought to start this blog again and contribute to the growth of the Internet with fresh content at my best. Basically this blog is about Designs, and targeted towards the readers who are interested in designing (Specially Websites). That is why I call it “Website of Designers”.

I promise to update this blog with the latest trends and updates in the web design industry. If you are looking forward to learn the subject of web designing, I trust this will be a good source. The support of everyone is highly appreciated!

Looking forward to see you with a new post soon,

Thanks,
