I don’t eat a lot of fast food, in fact I’d go further and say that I almost never eat fast food, but if I did, I’d like it to be packaged like this elegant solution designed by Seulbi Kim.

Ever wanted to know what the colour palette for Flickr is? Ever sat up all night trying to match the HEX values of Pinterest? Ever said out loud to your colleagues “Hey, anyone know what shades of pink the Santo Pecado Sex Shop uses?” I know I have.
Well now you can find out all these answers plus what colours are used for any other site you fancy without all that bother of having to fire-up Photoshop.

Just realised that I’ve passed the 100 posts mark on my TUMBLR. Yey me!

It certainly is Niice (see what I did there?) to have a search engine just for beautiful things. Kind of like a Google image search powered by Behance & Dribbble and without all the awfulness of said Google image search. Get me?

If you ignore the highly irritating music, the dubious style of the video and the sometimes terrible designs touted in this video (check out the stopwatch concept), the interactions and UI used here in this IOS 7 concept video are pretty interesting and would make the iPhone all the more joyful to use.

GMail cheat sheet by Visualeks. Surely a must have for the millions of us out there who use GMail. (To be honest, I didn’t even know there were such a thing as quick-keys for GMail.)

This tickles me. Mostly because… I actually rather like ‘em.

This great info-graphic by the Logo Company demonstrates just how much and, in some cases, how little logos change over the years. There’s two things I take from this. Firstly the core style of the logo and the way it’s pitched doesn’t change. Secondly, I tend to prefer the originals. But that’s just me.

As the trend for ‘flat design’ gains momentum, designers are spending more and more time on the creation of colour palettes. Why? Well because every colour provokes a response. You may not realise it but an understanding of the psychology of colour may just prove to be the designers most valuable weapon.

Fantastic (and mighty useful) PhotoshopCS6 shortcut graphic by Zerolag.
If you’re a Mac user you can also download a cheeky little app called, unsurprisingly, CheatSheet from the app store.

Those of us who have chosen to ride the risky, wobbly-wheeled bicycle that is an iPhone jailbreak, will be all too familiar with the Cydia app AUXO. The ever popular app appears in just about every ‘Cydia apps you must own damn you!’ list you can find on the net. Nice though it is, it’s still a little lacking.
This concept video by Jesse Head takes these shortcomings and kicks ‘em up the bum. I’m pretty certain that Apple won’t adopt this, they seem to be dragging their heels a little with their UI development. But, maybe the guys who created AUXO might.

This makes me want to buy a Nintendo. Which one? Don’t care. (Great Kavinsy remix too.)
