the fifth element.

So, on Saturday, I took my element out for a quick photo shoot up at Mountain Campus at Berry College, but it was kind of gray and gloomy outside. So, I figured if I couldn't get a really good picture why not just use what I had, and play with some fun stuff on Picnik that I haven't used before like saturation, adding objects, and the posterizing effect. And I pretty much love my latest work of art, but probably because i pretty much love everything about my element.

Burning Color

okay, so Dashboard was obviously a good idea from Apple, for convenience sake. But i have to share my favorite widget ever invented. I have had this on my dashboard for quite sometime, but i just shouldn't keep it all to myself. It is the ColorBurn widget by firewheel design. It is just a great inspiration of colors to use for absolutely anything. And not only is it very useful in choosing or deciding on colors for various designs, but some of the names for their daily color palettes, are actually humorous. Anything that is practical/useful, and can make me smile, gets an A+ in my book.
My one and only complaint after I downloaded it and used it for a week was that there wasn't an archive of their color palettes on the widget itself, BUT after some "digging" I found someone who loved the widget as much as I do, and created an archive. So, now I am pretty much happy all around with my daily dose of color, and if i need to find one that i saw a while back, i can check the archive. pretty sweet.
