Colour me happy. Single Strip of Colour: I love this method of colour blocking books because it is subtle yet bold and looks smashing in neutral and colourful interiors alike. Unique Colour Palettes: No need to follow the idea of making a rainbow. I prefer colour blocked bookshelves that use unique colour palettes including mixing soft hues with bright ones. In most interiors, it makes the look feel less forced and helps if you happen to have books in one particular colour family. Gallery White Spaces: Colour blocked books can look incredible in all light interiors especially when the design follows an artful, gallery sensibility.
Dark backgrounds: Black, wood or neutral grey shades can make bold backgrounds for books organized by colour. Bring up the topic of colour blocked bookshelves with interior design-minded friends and you will find those who adore the look and those who hate it. It may sound random but I have a thing for home art installations involving spools of thread. SUPERBIEN. Roads Magazine. Infographics. Retro Ads and Graphics.
Type. Habillage. Textures. Time-Lapse Shows What Earth Looks Like to Astronauts on the ISS. We shared this time-lapse by photographer Bruce W. Berry yesterday in a post about NASA astronaut photography from the International Space Station, but we’d like to share about it a little more about it since it’s something that definitely deserves its own post. Creating a time-lapse video using publicly available photographs shot from the ISS is a popular challenge for photographers and video editors these days, and we’ve shared quite a few of the gorgeous results (see here, here, here, here, here, and here). Despite the fact that so many similar time-lapses have been created in the past, Berry’s video has still attracted over 250,000 views since it was uploaded three weeks ago. It was also selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick. Berry says that he has always wanted to created a time-lapse video using NASA photographs but has never had the time or the computing power to do so.
His video stands out from the rest due to how simple and polished it is. (via Steve’s Digicams) Cool Creative Books.
