make time to design. if only it were that simple.

As I’ve said before, I absolutely love the ColourLovers blog.

Their latest post is the best yet.
Basically they have hand picked some of the greatest pieces of art and then compiled the colour palette used by the artist.
Here’s an example:

The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
		Painted between 1503 and 1506 in Florence, Italy. It is painted using the sfumato method, a term coined by Leonardo referring to a painting technique in which translucent layers of paint are applied so subtly that there is no perceptible transition. Her enigmatic smile has been both evocative and cause of speculation as to whom she might be.

This is a post you can’t afford to sleep on.

What they say:
We have always been fascinated with the colors magazines use on the cover of their magazines. These simple uses of color make a significant impact on the person browsing the magazine rack, they help illustrate and accentuate the contents of the issue and they help us keep a pulse on what professional designers are doing with color.
