20 Best Color Palette Generators and Galleries for Designers (2019)
Everyone loves colors. Colors are among the most important elements of every design and artwork. As designers, we work with colors every day. Color theory is such a serious thing that even Goethe wrote a book on the subject. You can use either galleries or generators to quickly create a fitting color scheme for your design. Color palette galleries are collections created by either human designers or algorithms. Color palette generators allow you to manually design a palette. On the web, you’ll also find color palette apps that provide both functions. 1. COLOURlovers is the biggest online community related to colors, with more than 8 million members. 2. With Adobe’s color wheel, you can create analogous, monochromatic, triadic, complementary, and compound color palettes. 3. ColorDrop is an excellent tool if you quickly need a palette for flat design. 4. Ambiance pulls random color palettes from COLOURlovers and displays them in the form of huge color cards. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
I Noticed This Tiny Thing On Google Maps. When I Zoomed In… Well, Nothing Could Prepare Me.
Go ahead and search for the coordinates 16°51’53″N, 11°57’13″E on google maps or google earth, and take a look at what you see. At first glance it may just appear to be a barren and empty desert. But zoom in further and you’ll find that there’s something more to see. When close enough, at that spot, there’s a surprising and amazing image that looks like an icon of a silhouetted plane. And there’s a very specific reason for the plane symbol being in that otherwise empty desert. Read on for the full and very touching story. In September of 1989, UTA flight 772 was scheduled to operate between Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo and Paris CDG airport in France via N’Djamena in Chad. A bomb exploded in the luggage area, causing the flight to break up over the Sahara Desert. The plane wreckage was strewn over miles and miles of desert, about 400 miles away from the nearest town. The site is so remote that some of the pieces still remain there today.

Little Family Fun: Easy Kite Craft for Kids!
Our final Kite-themed activity was making this easy kite craft! This was a joint effort by LB(3) AND LL(1) and myself. How to make it: Out of a piece of white paper, cut out a kite shape.Let your child paint (we used watercolors) their kite however they desire (this was LB's job) Get out another piece of white paper and have your child paint it however they desire (this was LL's job, AND her very first time painting! She loved it.) After the papers have dried, use a hole-punch to make a small hole in the bottom corner of the kite.Cut a long piece of yarn (however long you want it for the kite string), and tie it through the hole. Out of the other sheet of painted paper, cut out 3 (or more) bow-shapes. There you have it!

It doesn’t matter if you’re this generations Da Vinci in terms of you’re design skills if you can’t prove it.
