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.
The UK Catalyst Awards are looking for inspiring stories of people who help their community by using social technology (defined as any internet, mobile or gaming software that lets you connect and communicate with other people) in new and exciting ways.
There’s a range of awards up for grabs, including the Shock for Good Award (where social technology has shocked people into doing something good) and the David and Goliath Award (for something little that made a difference to a something big and powerful). Find out all about the awards and how to enter on the UK Catalyst Awards website.
