Inpsiration 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?
In our new Inspiration in Color series we present a bit of an inspirational experiment. This is the third in the series of posts focused on images that are primarily of a singular selected color. Inspiration in Yellow, features a wide range of wonderful works from the design world aimed at doing two things. Inspiring you overall, but also seeing if that inspiration tends to steer towards aspects associated with the color yellow. joy, optimism, intelligence, idealism, hope, air, cowardice, hazards, dishonesty, femininity, friendship, are all common associations with the color yellow. So where will this inspiration lead? Only you can tell...

Now it's your turn
The challenge has now fallen to those inspired by the post. We have an Inspiration in Color flickr group that was created to host the images inspired from this series. When the series wraps up, we will be featuring a showcase of images that were submitted to the group, but only those that have been inspired by the posts. This will allow us to see if the artistic muses tend to move towards the themes of the different colors. It's up to you, so let's get inspired!

Nice post. I’m normally so scared of yellow on the web because I’ve seen it used so poorly on a number of occasions. You’ve shows some really great examples though, so hopefully next time I won’t be scared ^_^
