COLOURLovers :: Color Trends + Palettes

Here’s a neat looking colour picking website. Quite similar to Adobe’s Kuler. Never have enough of these sites. There’s so much potential for creativity when creating such web applications.

Is this cool or what…

Downloaded and installed Safari 4. Some real neat features. I particularly liked the way they display the history with a flip view.

Safari 4 beta out

Safari 4 is out in beta. Looks like some competition from Chrome has done Safari a bit of good. They’ve come up with some really cool features such as the cover flow view. More details on features at the site. Gonna download it now and try it out. The download is just under 32 MB, so get started quick.

iPhone font detector

MyFonts is yet another super cool iPhone application. This app uses the iPhone camera. So if you run the application and scan some text with the camera it will detect the fonts used. you can email this info or just open it up with Safari on the iPhone itself. Amazing stuff.

And it’s now free.

Pattern tap – inspiration for web designers

Came across this real neat website called Pattern Tap that has a collection of a whole lot of designs from websites. the great thing is that the collection has been organized quite well which makes finding something you can use a whole lot easier than having to rummage through something random.

Flipping Typical

Flipping Typical is a neat website that allows you to checkout what your text will look like on the web with various fonts. It only uses fonts that you have installed on your computer. But the implementation is so simple, aesthetic, and functional, that its a real pleasure using this website. Even if it’s just to play around with some text and try and see if you can come up with something interesting.
