A fun way to search for reference images by their colour content. It selects from over 10 million images on Flickr according to the colours you select from a handy little palette. Then of course you can link directly to any picture you see. It doesn't give you any rights to use the images you ... read more

Eye Magazine, still the finest looking and finest reading graphic design magazine in the world, has just launched its own blog. Now you can look and learn, and read and write back... I'm particularly pleased to see that the facility to book a lunch date with Paul Davis (from the Copyright Davi... read more

This site has been running for 6 years. The site is conceived by two artists, Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. The basic idea is to set 'assignments' to anyone, anywhere who wishes to participate. The site has become a gallery space which people use to display their work. Some people (American... read more

I love this site. It appeals to the girly-designery-want-to-spend-money side of me. I think it is rare that a website captures that feeling of wandering around a quiet little boutique. When I visit lovelylovely.co.uk I feel like browsing / contemplating / touching / choosing / spending. I lik... read more

Ross Phillips nominated this at the Designs of the Year exhibition currently at the Design Museum. I can see why. Read some more comments at http://www... read more

I felt I should draw attention to the new Fabrica website. Strangely, the new site was NOT designed by the Fabrica Interactive team, headed by Andy Cameron. Apparently this new site has been designed by the newfangled 'Fabrica Development Team'. Perhaps Daniel Hirschmann (ex Fabrica webmaster, an... read more

I've worked off and on over the years for Moving Brands, and at Christmas they sent me a scarf - which is lovely - but the way it was made is pretty exciting: it was co-created by the Moving Brands ecosystem (ie. them and everyone they know). I've copied and pasted the blurb from the Weare websit... read more

The website that is not a website, or more accurately almost a website. It is a simple proposition: vote for the website idea you like the most and Nonsense will build it. No nonsense, I guess. I have those nice people at Moving Brands to thank for alerting me to this one - it was mentioned... read more
