Inspiration comes in all sorts of forms and from any number of varying sources. It can move us to masterpieces, or simply stir us to smile. But can the source of inspiration, depending on it's color, control how it inspires? Meaning, if the source of inspiration was primarily of a certain color, then would it inspire towards concepts or elements that are generally associated with that color? Can this kind of associative inspiration even be possible? Colors are chosen very carefully in design, due to the attachment of emotion and tone that they carry. So wouldn't it follow that the same would be true of that colors presence in inspirational sources? That they would transfer these same emotive associations when acting to inspire?
Once again we are pulling out all the stops for our final installment in our Inspiration in Color series’ inspirational experiment. Last weeks post focused on images primarily of a neutral color scheme. Inspiration in Spectrum however, features another taste of something different from the series as we showcase a wide range of wonderful works from the field of design aimed at doing three things. Overall inspiration is the order of the day, but also to see if that inspiration tends towards aspects associated with the colors, and to get you to submit to the Inspiration in Color flickr group. We covered throughout the series, all common associations with the individual colors of the spectrum. So where will this inspiration lead? Only you can tell…but hopefully to a submission to the flickr group.
