If you follow this blog then you’re probably aware that I am always on the prowl for inspiring color and style ideas. I also love of a good party (especially ones filled with interesting and creative people). When these two occasions merge you can say I’m truly ‘living in full color’ !
So it should come [...]
Many, MANY moons ago (eons before we had this blog about color), fellow LIFC writer April Clark and I found ourselves at a party in a web of a conversation with two guys who wanted to know what ‘we did for a living’.

Happy Halloween!
Okay as the countdown begins for the arrival of good spirits (evil ones you are so not invited), I find myself rushing about with the final preparations for my evening’s festivities.

And We Thought We Were Obsessed: I had always heard that peoples reactions to colors stems from their own personal experiences. Well San Francisco based Graphic Designer Rachel Berger partakes in a little colorful journaling and in her own way explores this very theory. As part of Michael Bierut’s The 100 Day Art Project ( [...]
It’s kind of like the age old ‘chicken or the egg’ argument when it comes to color trends. Which industry has more influence over the other.

Yesterday the brilliant photographer Irving Penn passed away in his Manhattan apartment at the age of 92. Working his camera and artistic vision up until the very end, his amazing career spanned decades. From his first days as an assistant art director at Vogue magazine to the world renowned master of his medium that he [...]
