Staircases

I was able to look on Pinterest for different designs that are on there and I came across a lot of home designs that people can do and these different staircases really popped out to me.  This is just one of many of the different types of staircases that this websites had.  The website is: http://www.stylisheve.com/22-very-unique-staircases-that-will-inspire-you/#.VB7zPnrD_qB.  Some of these staircases really have a lot of color like this one and many different types of texture.  I like this one the most because of the beautiful colors that are on it and how from the top image I actually thought it was a slide.  The lines go in the perfect direction of the stairs and I also believe that the colors really pop out since the inside of the building is white and with windows everywhere.  The colors are not super crazy, they are clam and fun.  The texture of the staircase is also unique because of how it is not a smooth curve, there is like a little bump in the middle of it and that adds a lot of character to it.  This staircase is really cool and fun and some of the other ones are also so cool where maybe one day I would be able to add one of these is a house that I own!!

Stamps!!

One of the main reasons that I chose this image and website is because of the stamps. http://www.thisismirador.com/tractorbeam/ this is the website if you would like to see more.  I really enjoy stamps because I stamp my own cards, but one of the big things that I love about stamps is that they have so many different type of stamps types.  Stamps have so many different types of fonts on the stamps and it is really nice if you would want a fancy font or just a block font.  Stamps also have different textures and it is really nice because all you have to do is just put ink on them and stamp them onto whatever you would like to put them on.  Stamps are a really good way to get different types of fonts.  I love stamping and seeing all of the different type faces on them!  If you do not look at stamps or use them I would tell you too because you can also get font ideas for any project you are working on.

Detailed Texture

This is a poster by Kevin Cantrell.  This is the website that I found these amazing images: http://www.mr-cup.com/blog.html.  At first when I was looking at it I thought that it was a piece of wood or a canvas, but then I found out that it was a poster and I was so surprised.  Looking at all of the images I could not believe all of the details that they had on the poster.  There is a lot of texture from the images from far away, but then when you have a close up, it is so much more little details that I cannot imagine how long it took them to do it.  The details make everything look so much better and it looks like it is even shading going on in it.  It is really inspiring to see this because some people think that simple is key, but with this design I believe that it is the texture that makes this whole piece. It is also something that it does not seem like too much texture because when you look at it from far away you cannot really see all of the details until you look up close.  This is really an amazing piece and I wish I could do something like this in the future.

Color Everywhere!

I am going to be talking about color today.  I looked on a website and it is called "Plenty of Colour." http://plentyofcolour.com/.  I thought that it was going to be really interesting, and it was do not get me wrong.  I was just a little confused on why there was no text to it at all.  After I was looking at all of the images I realized that these images do not need any text to talk about it because the main focus is color.  This first image really stuck out to me because of the two colors that are in this image.  The blue is a very cool color and it looks like water to me.  The orange image has very nice texture and then it also is a very beautiful orange that is a warm color.  The orange object to me reminds me of an ocean creature.  I do not only like this image because it looks like an object from the ocean, but the colors really compliment each other because of the warm and cool colors.   I really like how this image is only two colors, but your imagination can go wild with it.  The second picture I thought was really cool because of all of the colors and how it is on a building.  This shows that color can be anywhere that you would want it to be.  Who would have thought, that a building can be so colorful.  I know that a lot of buildings like to have colorful insides, but this building takes it to the next level with having all different colors on the outside of it and with the layers of the building it makes it look that much better than if it was just one layer.  I would really recommend this website for people who want to see what color can do for a picture or an object.
