Steampunk Design (is intriguing)

Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Wikipedia.

Yellow in Web Design (is beautiful)

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:35:16 +0000

When people ask me what my favorite colour is I always reply with yellow, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at things I make, things I use and things I buy. I want to use yellow more, especially in web design. If you’re looking to break away from using the same blue in every one of your designs as well, then get inspired! Here are some beautiful, yellow web designs that I’ve found.

Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism. Color Psychology

Thanks for looking!
