I’m not sure if I’m having a violent reaction to all the white I’m seeing (this blog included), but I’ve come across a couple visuals that gave me a jump start to the eyes & mind today. The above image came from the Dioptical – FontStruct Font while earlier today I came across this trippy RGB site. The added sound gives it a je ne sais quoi. Is this a sign of what’s to come visually this year?

    Damn that hurts. I wonder if an image could damage your eyes like looking at the sun…

    you know, it still uses white space effectively. even if it is all yellow.

    you are indeed correct. didn't think about the “space” aspect of white space ( :

    Definitely, I think! The Pantone color of 2009 is another example, and Flavorpill thinks it'll be a home design trend too – http://flavorwire.com/7671/our-home-design-pred… … also this morning a girl I work with predicted that the fashion industry would include a lot of bright & neon colors. Exciting for me (and Carles, haha)!
