Through our creative year, I think we all get a little myopic. I know the project at hand usually holds my focus, and even though alot of us take a moment to look back at our year as a whole, Emily and Stef of Makelight have generously given us a way to look at those twelve months in a new way.... totally by colour.
Emphasize Saturated / Emphasize Brighter Colours
By their own definition, Makelight is "a membership community for creators, makers and doers." Offering both free and members-only classes, there's also a blogful of thoughtful articles - definitely worth a glance.
Center on Favorite Colour / Order Colours by Time
As they did last year, they are offering a free tool to let us visualize the colours that we used on Instagram in 2017. Not only that, but we can see our personal colours in a variety of ways. Note the categories under each photo of my own, as the colours are reorganized. Each circle represents one of ten significant colours extracted from each image I posted, and the size of the circles indicates both how significant the colour was in the image, and how well liked it was by my followers. Pretty amazing, right?
Rainbow Mode / Order by Popularity
If you're like me, you'll get lost in it all for a bit, examining and pondering. Check out
Your Year of Colour. Then share on Instagram with the hashtag
#YearOfColour!
This is indeed a fascinating view of the year, Debbie. I think I could keep playing with the options for hours!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is always fun!
ReplyDeleteI was playing with it on my phone but I wish there was a label for what the 2 sliding dials are changing.
ReplyDeletefun to play with isn't it? my colors are so different from yours!
ReplyDeleteI spent hours, well no that's an exaggeration, many minutes of frustration on Friday evening trying to find this site and make it work. Thanks so much for the link - it was easy!
