Design Color Scheme From A Photograph

As a designer I find inspiration for color schemes from all over. From architecture, nature, to paintings and photographs. I’ve driven by houses with a great color scheme and thought to myself “That would make a great color scheme for a website!”.

Using Photoshop’s Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic, we can grab a photograph and find a great scheme from it! Hover the below photos to see the scheme they produce at 65 cell size. Photographs with a wide array of colors will work best.

Woven Hand Concert

I was fortunate enough to get to see Woven Hand play in Spokane, Washington last night. Awesome concert.

I didn’t quite get the photos that I would have liked to, due to a couple tall guys in front. But these turned out okay.

Big Snow Fall

The snow has been falling at record rates this winter. We broke a 100 year record for ‘most snow fallen in a single day’. And we’ve broke an all time record of snow per winter.

Understanding RAW Photo Format

Are you new to digital photography? Has the HDR wave of photos fascinated you? Since I picked up my Nikon D50, I’ve found myself that much more interested in learning about the power of RAW file format. Tutorial9 wrote a great post explaining the pro’s and con’s of RAW and what exactly it is!
