Daily Color Scheme is a neat website that provides suggestions for website colour schemes, ready to download and import into your design software. My favourite is Veerle’s Topp.
The site says that it’s still in beta, but since no new schemes have been added since 2006, it looks like development has stalled! The site’s archive of colour schemes isn’t large, but it’s enough to give you some inspiration or help you make up your mind about the colours you like and dislike.
If you’re looking for more resources on colour for website designs, then check out this e-consultancy article on choosing colours for website designs, which is where I came across Daily Color Scheme.
Robin Hamman at cybersoc.com has an interesting video interview with Dominic Sparkes of Tempero, a UK-based company that provides specialist moderation for social media - including message boards, blogs, commenting, social networking sites and other user generated content. Watch the video for an insight into the editorial and legal issues involved in online moderation.
Earlier this year I researched and wrote a series of case studies for the Academy for Sustainable Communities (ASC). These case studies - which focused on the 2007 winners of the Creating the Future Awards - can now be seen on Showcase, a newly-launched library of case studies from the ASC.
The Showcase website is a good example of how video and photos can help to bring a case study to life - and the site makes effective use of tags to help people find case studies that are relevant to them.
The Creating the Future awards promote organisations, partnerships and individuals helping to transform our cities, towns or villages, and celebrate achievement across the public, private and third sectors.
