Topic: In the next 1 year, what will you need to be careful with?

== Rules ==

Concentrate on what is on the mind And choose the deck of cards that most appeals to you

Ps. is just predict to the overview only, not directly specifying who it is

Number 1

- you have something that you want to do. but with many things, it might come from someone close to you, a family member, or someone older. So you can’t do that. You’re waiting for a chance. Waiting for success that you don’t know when to come. Be careful about your thoughts, confusion, and decisions. Don’t let your negative thoughts or dark minds get too overwhelming.

Number 2

- be careful about using too much power to force others because it becomes pressured and makes them not want to be near you. beware of selfishness. Being a third party or meddling with other people’s relationships, being malignant, showing off over pressing others, will have a negative effect on yourself

Number 3

- be careful of thinking over and over with the same story distracting and is an obstacle that leads to success. When you know something, just close your ears and close your eyes. So that you will feel more at ease, clearer, and not suffer from yourself. If you can, it will be successful. It’s important to let it go

Number 4

- beware of being malicious in secret or is there anything hidden underneath the feelings of someone you didn’t expect, or someone who seems to be friendly (friendly here means including all ages not only the same age) if investing in shares with anyone, or make a contract with someone to check the detailed information. There may be something that is hidden until you are at a disadvantage. When you don’t know how to solve the problem, find someone with specialized knowledge to consult and give you advice.

Topic: How to get through this problem?

== Rules ==

Concentrate on what is on the mind And choose the deck of cards that most appeals to you

Ps. is just predict to the overview only, not directly specifying who it is

1. this is the moment that you are troubled or is there something that causes pain, shaking your heart. You wanting to throw it from your think. You want to cleanse it from the heart. Please let it go, suffering may not disappear entirely but definitely less than before. Some things you can’t fix can only let it adhere to the natural rules

Note: admitting to what happened and moving on will make you go through it.

2. you are frustrated, in pain, and you want to change for the better. You want to be successful with what you think or want to be more advanced. Some of you may have unforgettable memories, be patient, and take a rest from what you hope for. please take a step forward to see the world in reality and take more care of your heart

3. you have a lot of stuff hidden inside. You don’t want others to know and may think to think about what to do next. You want time to takes a lot of decisions. For those who choose number 3, letting go of your intolerance, let suffering-free, and fly away, will clear your mind.

4. please be careful during this period. You need to have very conscious of life. What you think and maybe watched by someone. Constantly watching you. if what you’re doing goes wrong it will cause negative effects. You should find someone who can be trusted as a mentor. Tell the story inside the heart. If you have no one, then listen to your heart

Those who choose number 4 sometimes have to be selfless. In order to make the situation successful and pass well

A Glimpse of Light

photo by William J Spirdione

After all, we’ve been through, even a glimpse,

Of light, a beam of brightness lifts the gloom.

It happens so fast, you better not blink,

A moment of luck, one has to assume.

Colors infused with subconscious meaning,

Banishing our mind’s negativity.

Balance to whatever way one’s leaning,

Breaking free from our self captivity.

A key quickly turned, feel the mind unlock.

The clock has stopped, and its innards unwound.

Raging mountain stream waters slow then stop.

Leave this moment exactly as it’s found.

The present continues as soon as one,

Notices the quiet stillness is done.

Colors for AAA contrast ratio

When looking for an even more apparent contrast, it becomes more difficult. The method proves to be even more imprecise here, and again we can set the colors significantly brighter by a few percent.

Talking about colors

Like the AA contrast colors, Red, Violet, and Purple remain relatively bright (B70%) with high contrast and are easily recognizable. Green is already very dark (B40%) and is no longer very apparent. The most transparent colors are the Blue tones, which can be recognized most clearly with almost constant brightness (B100%).

12 colors that fit either AA or AAA contrast requirements

A good starting point

Based on our approach, we found a couple of very suitable colors. However, it will not be sufficient to adopt them. When choosing colors, we have to use the colors in context and test them to decide. If there is already a brand color, the colors should be adjusted. Also, the accessibility for color-blind users must be checked. To find the right colors based on the colors we saw, the 10°-Hue steps can be broken up to look for more suitable colors between these color tones. The saturation does not have to stay at 100% either. It can be matched to an existing color to achieve a harmonious appearance.
Muted colors for 2021
Tags: UI Design, UI, UX, Perception, Colors

What are muted colors exactly?

Muted colors refer to all colors that have low saturation (or chrome). These are subtle colors that are not bright or have been subdued, dulled, or grayed. The opposite of a soft color is a bright, vivid, saturated color. Compare the colors that you see in the sky on a cloudy day to the colors you see on a bright and sunny day. The tones of color found on a cloudy day are typically less bright, duller, and more muted compared to those of a sunny day.

Color Saturation refers to the brightness/intensity of a hue. Highly saturated colors are vibrant and radiant, while low saturated colors are dull.

The saturation of a color is based on the degree of purity from the pure color at 100% to gray at 0%.

To mute a color, you can just mix it with black, white, gray, or the complement of the color (for example, you can desaturate red by mixing it with green).

Why use muted colors?

Vivid colors sure have their place. But it is usually far more effective to use vivid colors sporadically, in combination with muted colors.

If you combine two bright colors it will not the best result. For example, take the red, blue, and green below which is surrounded by a vivid yellow. The colors fight each other for attention. You may find this color combination to be jarring and uncomfortable to look at.

If you half the saturation of yellow, blue, and green the color combination is much more pleasing to look at.
High Color Chaos

High Color Chaos

The Phoenix Park Bridge spanned with 170 LED lights crosses the Chippewa River just before midnight in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. (photo by Branden Nall)

Seasons ago our minds and lives were not controlled by the constant stimulation of colors bombardment! We, all around the world are marketed to, engulfed in and mind melded by the udder convolution of sophisticated saturation!

Having never felt this way about reading and writing before. I am, for the first time, enamored by the therapeutic slow down of black and white rich text.

No high colors, just black and white. Rich singular contrast that seems to ease my mind, relax my breath, slow my heart rate and change my perspectives. Dynamic clarity that has been so longed for.

The pen is equally perplexingly easing as the fountain tip softly glides over the white pages. Easing and sophisticated. Refined and satisfying. It’s like being with all of my kids at once — easing my mind and taming my heart!

I feel that the journey to today has been so rich and bold — similar to ink and paper. But the 40 years were a resemblance of a staircase or brick and mortar filling a plot of land one experience and year, month, day, hour, minute and second at a time.

The journey of the build started with black and white —

then color

then HD

the Super HD

Then, overwhelming sets of digital motion and videos taking over our eyes, minds, hearts, soul and lives. Stopping us from experiencing and living!

Then, in an instant……

………………………….. it’s black and white.

BOLD. Rich. Black. White. Like a switch that just flipped, but still understands all of the super-color HD high-resolution enormity of all systematic color saturated chaos.

That’s exactly what it is — color saturated systematic chaos.

Simple things have come back into focus over the last year. Food. Work. Pen and Ink. Black text on white paper. Running. Bikes.

These things have spurred me to love more and appreciate more! Taking time for gratefulness! More focus, drive, cooperation, compassion and detail. Like once was — so many seasons ago.
3 tips for a nice coherent feed on Instagram.
By: Lieselotte Philips
Tags: Trends, Instagram, Social Media, Instagram Feed, Colors

Instagram is one of the many social media channels where you can make yourself visible as a person, brand or company. With the right techniques you will make sure that your Instagram profile speaks and that you will attract more visitors.

Below I have listed some useful tips.

1. Choose a color palette

By choosing a color palette you make sure that the pictures you will use will fit together perfectly. For example, search for colors that appeal to you on Pinterest.

Do you prefer dark colors or light colors? Below you see two examples where you can clearly see what the chosen color palette is.

Besides the colors you can also ask yourself what feeling you want to radiate. Do you prefer dark and warm colors or rather white and light colors? Dark and warm colors will give a warm and mysterious feeling compared to white and light colors, that will look clean.

Besides these two examples there are of course many others. Find out for yourself and determine what feeling you want to radiate on your Instagram Feed.

2. Use presets

If you edit photos with the app: Lightroom you probably know what presets are. But it is also possible that you have no idea what it is.

Lightroom gives you the possibility to customize colors according to your own look and feel. The advantage of presets is that when using them, all your pictures will have the same color theme. This way they form a whole and that’s exactly what we are looking for.

3. Variation of the subject

Your feed doesn’t look interesting or inspiring if every image is about the same.

Therefore, alternate with various point of views, a close-up, a quote, … Make sure that these different point of views are alternated with each other.

Below is a clear example of the use of different point of views.

Instagram (@idaandu)

Pictures are used of the whole body, of the upper body, of food, of surroundings, … This variety makes visitors interested and inspired by your account.

Finally, I have two handy tools you can use:

Lightroom

a. Lightroom

As mentioned before, Lightroom is a handy app for editing your photos and creating presets. The app is available both on desktop and mobile.

b. UNUM

UNUM

With this handy app you can plan your Instagram photos. Which photos fit together? Are the colors right? What does it look like when I change these two photos? …

And now that you’ve read all this, you can try it out yourself and share it in the comments! Have fun with it!

Things You Should Know To Make Your Bedroom Look Aesthetically Pleasing.
By: Fiza Jilani
Tags: Bedroom Design, Aesthetics, Bedrooms, Love For Writing, Colors

A Bedroom is that part of the house where you spend most of your day. For that reason, your bedroom must have a calming aesthetic appeal. And today, I’m going to tell you 9 things that will make your bedroom look gracefully appealing.

1. Minimal Bedding

Less is more! If you want your bedroom to look alluring and comfy at the same time, you need to have simple bedding. Simple bedsheets with neutral throws make your bedroom look extremely attractive in a soothing manner.

2. Neutral Color Scheme

Always choose neutral colors when working on your bedroom’s color scheme. After a long hectic day, one should come home to a bedroom that is gentle on the eyes. And for that, you need to keep it neutral. My personal favorites are white, black, and greys.

3. Statement Lighting

Another secret styling tip is to add a statement lighting piece to your bedroom. Having said that, you should always go for warm lighting for the rest of the room. A beautiful statement lighting piece will add an extra bit of aesthetics to your bedroom.

4. Succulents

Even if you are not a plant lover, still you would love to have some extra oxygen to breathe in. For that, go grab some succulents. When choosing plants for the bedroom, you should always go for succulents. Firstly, they do not require much sunlight. Secondly, they are slow growers so will not take much of your room’s space.

5. Accent Wall

Add an accent wall to your room and create an attractive background for your Instagram posts. In today’s “Insta-World”, everyone wants to have an artistic background for their pictures. An easy way out is to create an accent wall in the bedroom by using simple wallpapers.

6. Tapestry

Tapestry is the best choice for someone who is not a poster or photo frame fan. Tapestries come in several colors and art forms. All you need to do is to choose one blending in well with your taste. Hanging a tapestry on a wall will add a hint of artistic flavor to your bedroom.

7. Rugs

To balance out the fancy trinkets add a cozy rug to your bedroom. Rugs not only cover a part of the floor but also add a personality to your room. Rugs come in different types based on their textures. Simply choose one going well with your taste and make your room look classy.

8. Headboards

Headboards have been there in our homes for a long time. But creating an attractive one is not an easy task. It is not a difficult job at all. All you need is a good aesthetic sense. Add a small plant, a photo frame, some books, a jar of candies, and shiny string lights to make your headboard look simply amazing.

9. Declutter

No matter the numerous fancy decorations your room has. If it is all messy, all the hard work that has gone into decorating it is simply of no use. Always keep your room clutter-free. Studies have also shown that people having messy rooms are more likely to suffer anxiety.
Did Blue Exist in Ancient Times?
By: Elizabeth P.
Tags: Ancient, History, Colors

In today’s society, we grow up describing our surroundings through many colors, especially accenting the blue parts of our world such as the sky and the sea.

However, blue as a color did not always exist. In fact, people only started seeing blue a mere 6,000 years ago. Blue was the last color to appear in the human vocabulary, after the primary colors of black and white, describing light and darkness, then red, describing the color of wine and blood. Then came yellow and green, and, many years later, blue appeared.

So why didn’t it exist before and how did people describe the things we know so well as being blue today?

The story of blue being invisible in history begins in 1858 when William Gladstone, who later became the Prime Minister of Great Britain, read the famous Odyssey by Homer. Gladstone stumbled upon descriptions of the sea as “wine-dark” instead of “deep blue”. His curiosity sparked, leading him to count the color references in the Odyssey and finding that while black was mentioned about 200 times, white 100, red 13 times, and yellow and green 10 times, blue did not appear once. He later determined, upon further observation, that blue didn’t exist anywhere in Greek writing. It was proven that this phenomenon was not unique to the Greeks, as Lazarus Geiger noticed this was true across all cultures of the time.

As of now, there are two main theories that attempt to address this peculiar progression of colors in the human vision.

Periwinkle
Tags: Pandemic, Colors, Friendship

I’ve been thinking about the color blue a lot lately. Not just any blue though, a specific shade: periwinkle. It reminds me of satin; rich satin that you find on luxury slip dresses, the rich satin that you find on high-quality sheets, the kind you picture when you think of a rich girl’s nightgown. The flower itself is known as the “flower of death” across Europe but when I think of periwinkle, one word comes to mind. Mizpah. I heard this word a couple of months back and it really stuck to me. Mizpah is a deep bond between people separated by distance. The farthest distance is between two people who are emotionally distant even when physically close. The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us; for me, it came in the form of becoming emotionally distant from my closest friends. However, that bond still exists. It goes on to prove that one doesn’t need to be physically connected to a person to be happy. It’s a color that reminds me of friendships, a deep bond; it's a color that's so dull but so bright at the same time. A mix of 11-year-old me’s favorite colors: blue and purple. A color that paints an ethereal picture in my mind.

The Colors of Feeling

The Colors of Feeling

====

What do they mean?

Feelings? Happy?

Mad? Angry? Sad?

Like the colors

On Van Gogh’s Palette,

Wild, bold, swirling

All day and all night.

The combinations infinite-

Deep violet, yellow hues

Explosive greens,

Mad roiling Blues,

Ochre, celadon, red.

Mixed feelings ever moving,

Different colors

In your heart and head-

Tingling primary colors

So mixed they are

Can’t recognize each other.

What are these colors,

These feelings trying to say?

See me, they say that-

Don’t mix me too much

Or you’ll end with black-

I am searching blindly

For the light in the midst,

of all this-

Looking for white to highlight

Some of these distracting sights,

Sounds and feelings,

Feelings of love and hate.

In those colors

I see the violet light-

As I come nearer

It gets so bright.

I enter the prism,

I am released

From the prison

Of feeling the colors,

To being the colors,

To seeing in others,

Only colors of love.

What I Learned Today- Day 1. There Was No Such Thing as the Color…
Tags: History, Education, Facts, Colors, Ancient History

There Was No Such Thing as the Color Blue in Ancient Times

No, I do not mean the color blue did not exist, they simply just did not have a terminology for it. This was discovered through the works of Homer, however, in his writings colors such as white, black, red, yellow, and green were mentioned, but never blue. The color of the sea would be described as

The evolutionary explanation behind this is that:

Black and white were mainly incorporated in the language to distinguish between night and day.

Red would be associated with danger, and perhaps could even be seen when a person would blush, thus having to find a name for it.

Green and yellow entered the language due to the fact that they needed these terms to tell the difference whether or not a fruit was ripe.

However, people rarely interacted or encountered with the color blue. They would describe the color ‘blue’ as black or ‘dirty like water’. If you think about it, the color blue isn’t that far from the color black (figure A).

Interestingly, language helps us train our brain to see different colors. Once we have a new word for a color, we are able to see the difference between hues. For example, the color pink derives from red, and instead of calling it ‘light red,’ our brains are able to distinguish the difference between the two hues.

Figure A

Words I learnt Today:

Homunculus: a very small or humanoid creature.

Impignorate: to pledge, pawn or mortgage.

Food For Thought:

“The final reward of the dead: to die no more”

“Can there be a more sacred act than self-inquiry?”

“Hope is the worst of evils because it protracts torment”

“Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings-always darker, emptier and simpler”

“What good is a book that does not carry us beyond all books?”

(The quotes mentioned above are all extracted from the book ‘When Nietzsche Wept’ by Irvin D. Yalom).

Thank you and have a wonderful day!
My Colorful World In Black & White
Tags: Winter, Florida, Blackandwhitephotography, Photography, Colors

My Colorful World In Black & White

Florida may well be the most colorful state in the U.S. All year long, we’re immersed in blues, greens, magentas, purples, yellows, reds, and oranges. Each color has a dozen or more shades. Each sunset or sunrise is an artist’s canvas. Each flower is a masterpiece.

In winter, when other places are brown, gray, and beige, we’re drenched in dazzling tropical tints.

With the first day of winter a week away, I recalled the cold, bland landscape of my childhood home in Virginia and wondered how my current world would look if transported north in December.

So, I created that world.

This was an interesting experiment that produced some lovely b&w photos.

But, when I was done, I realize that nothing can replace the glorious colors of my Florida.

What would your world look like in black and white?

It is a primary color, used in painting or color printing.

I usually go for a walk on sunset time to see the bright yellow sun, and take some pictures.

Bright yellow is an attention getter, and its contrast with black is the most visible color combination.

Color and music are mediated by emotions. A study from Berkeley experimented it.
By: Sono Music Group
Tags: Music, News, Colors, Stories

What color do you see in music? A study from Berkeley University found that music-color relation is mediated by emotions. Using a 37-color palette, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors. Music, like color, is not easily categorized. Broad musical classifications including: Jazz, Blues, Rap, Classical, Heavy Metal, Celtic, Pop, Rock, Country, Easy Listening, Muzak, and so forth — provide only a simple description for a vast variety of expressionistic styles.



Musical styles can also be associated with color, texture, and flavour. Think of the Blues, purple Jazz, white noise, and other descriptive attributes such as: dark, light, gray, raspy, sweet, sour, sharp, harmonious and disharmonious.



Music can also be described in terms of melody, harmony, and rhythm, with different musical compositions placing different emphasis on each of the three musical elements. Coincidentally, color too can be described in terms of elements, or primaries, where the three primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow, mixed in combination with white define a visible color space.

Visualizing Geographical Data

Folium allows data scientists to illustrate and interact with geographical data that has been manipulated using Python. In a later blogpost I will be discussing how selecting specific color intervals can introduce biases in the data, and can further mislead your target audience. But in this blogpost, I will be introducing Folium and demonstrating how to create an interactive heatmap. Take a look at the below heatmap, which looks at the geographic distribution of houses and their sale price.

These data points come from a dataset containing house sale prices for homes sold between May 2014 and May 2015 in King County, WA.

import folium

from folium import plugins

import pandas as pd

import branca.colormap as cm

import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings('ignore') colormap = cm.LinearColormap(colors=['dodgerblue', 'orange', 'yellow', 'lightyellow', 'snow'], vmin=df['price'].min(), vmax=df['price'].max()) le_map = folium.Map(location=center, zoom_start=10) for i in range(len(df)):

folium.Circle(

location=[df.iloc[i]['lat'], df.iloc[i]['long']],

radius=10,

fill=True,

color=colormap(df.iloc[i]['price']),

fill_opacity=0.2

).add_to(le_map) le_map.add_child(colormap)

If you’re interested in seeing where this data from df comes from, take a look HERE. You’ll be able to download the .csv file and investigate further. Here are some important notes for how I was able to create this heatmap: colormap is critical.

Breaking from tradition once again, The Pantone Color Institute has named two colors of the year for 2021.

2 Pantone Color of the Year 2021

Ultimate Gray ：a swatch that recalls solid shadows cast on a wall;

Illuminating ：a lemony shade, allegedly reminiscent of a happy face. I will call it Hysterical Yellow.

There is general agreement on very little in this world, save, perhaps, for one thing: This year has been a mess, and the next one cannot come fast enough.

So it should be a surprise to no one that the prognosticators at Pantone — those trend forecasters who scour the globe for months noting developments in clothing, cars, kitchens, coffee (the stuff that surrounds us) and translate it into a color they claim will be the dominant shade of the coming year — have chosen, as the color of the year for 2021 … two colors!

Which does not represent indecisiveness, but a metaphor. Get ready for Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. Or, just like the light at the end of the tunnel.

So how do you like Ultimate Gray and Illuminating?

Will you use these two colors in clothes and accessores?

Pantone’s 2021 Colors of the Year: What You Need to Know
Tags: Beauty, Pantone, Retail, Colors, Fashion

The Pantone Color Institute has named not one but two colors of the year: PANTONE 17–5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13–0647 Illuminating. According to Pantone, the selection is “a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting. Each of them has their own emotional aspect, the gray being the one that’s more supportive and solid, the practical foundation that we need, and the yellow is about hopefulness and sunshine and good cheer.” We examine how Ultimate Gray and Illuminating will be embraced in the fashion industry and beyond.

Fashion

Womenswear

Alice + Olivia | Prada | Daniela Gregis | Andrew GN

Menswear

OAMC | Ermenegildo Zegna | Salvatore Ferragamo | Homme Plissé Issey Miyake

If nothing else, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating accurately depict the times we live in, providing us with the resilience and steadiness we need to take on 2021. The muted gray selection is the first achromatic shade to be selected for Color of the Year, and it serves as a subtle neutral that pairs well with vivid brights and subdued pastels. Both colors made a major impact on the SS21 runway, visible in the collections of Prada, Jacquemus, Gucci, Balmain, Givenchy, and more.

Category Penetration of Ultimate Gray (L) and Illuminating (R)

Tops and dresses are the two most penetrated categories when it comes to Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. Despite our fervor for gray sweatpants as of late, which was noted as an inspiration for the selection of Ultimate Gray, sweatpants and hoodies came in at a distant №10, with about 5% of activewear appearing on shelves in gray hues.

Beauty

Daniela Gregis | Vivetta | Collina Strada

Ultimate Gray and Illuminating also found its way onto the SS21 runway in beauty looks. Daniela Gregis and Collina Strada featured statement yellow looks, while models at Vivetta wore grey nails for a neutral look.

Interiors

Dwell | MDDM Studio | Domino | Construction Union

Denoting fortitude, hope, and unity, the combination of Ultimate Gray and Illuminating also dial into the feeling of continuity that we take from the natural world. Commonly paired with stark whites or warm neutrals, the colors provide our homes with some much-needed positivity.

It was the most beautiful view you could ever imagine.

That evening, my daughter and I were having an insightful discussion about the many different colors of the sun.

“Some say that if you look at the sun just a little longer than is well-advised, you will see that there are two more suns hiding in there,” I said. The sun was still safely peeking through the voids in the palms as we walked the garden path toward the sea.

It twinkled through in slivers above. She stopped and let go of my hand and just looked through the natural filter from the shade.

“I see it!” she said. “It flashed from white to silvery pink. And there is a black one, too.”

Morgan had been lucky to catch the sun in its full glory. It must’ve been taking a break from hiding beneath sheets of dark rainless clouds…

The palms rubbed in the gentle air. I took her hand and smiled on our way. The soil was getting a little sandier now.

The plum trees marked the end of the garden walk. Ripe fruits bowed over the corner of a burgundy picket fence, their color reminding me of my wife.

I’m working really hard on a new Sweary book! I feel like it’s been forever. But my standards have dramatically risen for each coloring page.

One of my favorite things about drawing, Is the ability to shade. But with coloring books I kind of had to leave that behind. Until now. I’m going to try and publish a coloring book with a bit of shading and hopefully my colorists will enjoy it. Here is a close up of the girls eye

So I was trying to decide on the type of eyebrows I wanted her to have…

As A joke I tried Minion brows! LOL

The colors in my dreams

Are sprinkled with gold

Accented with silver linings

Warm radiance, never cold

The colors so vibrant

So bold and beautiful

Filled the spaces of my mind

Breathtakingly delightful

I dream colors of the rainbow

Reds, blues, yellows, and greens

The most marvelous of colors

That you have ever seen

The colors filled with love

Overflowing with hope and passion

Brings life to my dreams

Sparking an emotional reaction

I get lost in the magic

Colors creating an illusion

Painting my psyche

With hues of translucence

Colors tell the story

Of my dream that was in play

Colors completed the journey

And I will return to it one day…

To continue dreaming in colors

The most loved color scheme of the decade is teal fall with complementing tones of navy, gold, brown, and cream. The greenish-blue hue indicates nostalgia, peacefulness, rejuvenation to the entire color palette needed. With exposed beams and highlighted ceiling adds interesting features to the whole architect.

Green Color Color Palettes

Fall color schemes are incomplete without the compelling green color. It creates a pleasant environment and promotes a feeling of harmony, balance, and revitalization. Incorporating a green color scheme with a touch of velvet, the decor comes out as a luxurious and warm style.

Burnt Orange Fall Color Palettes

The bright orange color enhances creativity and energizes the whole environment. Burnt orange also gives a calming effect with a contrasting off-white and green color scheme. The color makes the interior all the more interesting and appealing.

This weekend, on Sunday, I cleaned someone’s kitchen. I don’t know why I did it. But the kitchen was clean when I was done.

The person I cleaned for didn’t give a goddamn. They wanted the kitchen clean, but when I was done, they were mad and stood disapprovingly in a spick-and-span kitchen.

Tips for attractive UI/UX design & typography

What is ‘typography’?

Wikipedia says,

‘Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.’

Simply when it comes to the UI/UX design, your design should make your user to see the interface conveniently.

Here I have few tips to make a nice-looking UI.

Beautiful typography

Use a font-size between 15 and 25 pixels for body text.

Use big font sizes for headlines.

Use line spacing between 120% and 150% of the font size.

45–90 characters per line.

Use good fonts.

Choose a font which reflects the look and feel you want for your website.

Use only one font.

Reduce the font-weight as your heading is getting bigger.

Using colors like a pro

Use only one base color.

Use a tool if you want to use more colors.

Use color to draw attention.

Never use black in your design.

Choose colors wisely.

Red — power, passion, energetic, strength Orange — cheerfulness, creativity, friendliness, confidence, courage Yellow — energetic, happiness, liveliness, curiosity, intelligence, brightness Green — harmony, nature, health, associated with money Blue — patience, peace, trustworthiness, stability, associated with professionalism Purple — power, nobility, wealth, sense of wisdom, royalty, nobility, luxury, and mystery

Working with images

Put text directly on the image (make sure the text to be clear).

Overlay the image.

Put your text in a box.

Blur the image.

Working with icons

Use icons to list features/steps.

Use icons for actions and links.

Icons should be recognizable.

Label your icons.

Icons should not take a center stage.

Use icon fonts whenever possible.

Spacing and layout

Put whitespace between your elements.

Put whitespace between your groups of elements.

Put whitespace between your website’s sections.

Define where you want your audience to look first.

Establish a flow that corresponds to your content’s message.

Use whitespace to build that flow.

Summery

Most of the content of our application is text. Using beautiful typography is very important when it comes to a website. Using images is a nice way to make an attractive design for the users and to give the idea about what is your website is intendent to. Icons also helps to improve the usability of the application. We can use the white spaces to make the flow and divide the sections for better understanding. You can see these techniques by studying the well-designed websites in the internet.
