Introducing Found Color

August 1, 2008 — Matt— 1 comment

In the goal of keeping things fresh around this blog, I’m starting a mini-blog for “found color” palettes that I grab with my camera. I’ve tried to start a system like this for myself for years, to help create new color ideas for my client work. I’m hoping that putting this out here publicly will keep the idea rolling.

Check back a week or so from now — after I get a number of color swatches in and work out some technical details, I plan to put together an archive view to check out the full set of colors. For now, colors will appear under the dancing bear, and everything links back to the photo on Flickr.

Growing Pains: From Freelance to Agency

Refreshed
This is embarrassingly tardy, but I wanted to say thanks to all those attended my Seattle Refresh presentation a few weeks ago. My presentation was largely a follow up to a previous Refresh talk I gave, about my first few months of freelancing.
This time, I talked about my recent switch from strictly freelancing to a more […]
