creative resources

Useful tools that should be part of any designer's toolbox:

Colour themes. Colour is a critical element of design, and knowing what colours work with each other is just as important. At one point in time, a colour wheel was a must-have tool, but online software has made it far easier to pick perfect combinations. Here are a few of our favourites, each one a little different and useful in their own way:

Adobe Kuler

Color SynthAxis

Colr

Color Scheme Designer

Vector logos. Every so often, there is a need to source the logo of a major company or organization for use in, say, an advertisement. When deadlines don't allow for going through the usual request process, it's time to drop by at Brands of the World.

Ipsum lorem. Placeholder text, more commonly known as ipsum lorem or greek text, is often used at the design stage of publications or ads to give writers an idea of approximate copy length. If your desktop software doesn't offer this, you'll be thankful for a site like Lipsum.

Dictionary and Thesaurus. Who needs these heavy tomes taking up space on the bookshelf when these always-useful resources are but a click away?

Dictionary

Thesaurus

Grammar and Style

InDesign Secrets. This site is a great resource for anyone using InDesign, yes, even the pros.

Flowcharts with style. Forget Powerpoint or Word, this free online application makes creating beautiful flowcharts and sitemaps super simple.
