I give up, the cliche is true. I have 400 file versions saved of the same project and guess what, no clue what the actual final file is now looking back 5 years on some of this work! I laughed at the meme circling the internet right now with a .psd file named "new" "newfinal" "newfinalfinal"... but it speaks to my soul. Or, my thought process? Anyways. Reconstructing my website & portfolio has lead to a crisis of file saving identity. What is wrong with me? Why on earth don't I just save over the old files? LESSON LEARNED as everyone at work proclaims anytime something goes wrong. I can't find anything I want to find because I'm digging through so many unnecessary folders. That's right! I organized my extra file saves! OHHH boy!
Okay, rant done.
On to the next!
Figberry! Yum, this palette. I wanted to extract a handful of colors from these images. I was drawn to how much depth was portrayed by the photography shown here. Eggplant has been a personal favorite. I fully believe in these deep moody colors being used as neutrals. They have a flexibility that pastels and bright poppy colors just can't function in. It's something I've truly enjoyed discovering over the years in my color play. All these deep colors offer it too, not just the deep purple I adore. Originally I began searching for a deep blue. Another personal favorite. I think these could easily be paired down and utilized for an interior. There are so many options to draw from these images, it was hard not to pull more colors. I felt these were the strongest cast members to showcase. More than anything I wanted to dive in and explore these images and all the vastness of color they offer.
If you're ever interested, there's a really great app out there that actually tests your color accuracy! It's one of my favorite "games", putting a ray of ombred colors in order with the slightest of differences.
