JP from Hexday has been in touch to tell us about some new additions to the site where users are asked to pick a colour a day.

He says, “On top of the original idea of “Pick 1 Hex Color a Day” seeing the trends and the patterns that seem to occur. We’ve also added various features that encourage what we have called “Color Cross Sell” so visiting a single color http://hexday.com/color/82072C you’ll see who’s already picked it, what other colors are related and if any image samples have included the color.”

He continues, “There are lots more features coming in the next few weeks, but we’re making a conscious effort to not pass over to the color lovers side of things, the main purpose of the site will always remain “picking one color a day”. Many users seem to do it as part of their morning rituals.”

So, make it your morning ritual to go and pick a colour that suits your mood for the day!

Love the work of Jordi Ferreiro; his street art and installation work is just a little explosion of colour in an otherwise bland environment.

Loic Sattler has updated his site with some new work.

Mauro has just sent me his typographic pin badges, which are sweet, but cor blimey check out his CMYK poster series on the same page. I gotta get me a couple of them!

My Schizophrenic Brain, the utterly cool online gallery of Brazillian Illustrator Guilherme Marconi, has just received a large update of corking new stuff.

Catalina Estrada has some damn fine work on her site.

A rummage around on Ffffound led me to this picture, and then to a post on The Dieline about the 100% Chocolate Cafe in Tokyo. That packaging is simple, sexy and bold; a corking use of typography and bold colour palette. You can see more shots on the original post on The Dieline.
