More Color Scheme Websites

I can't wait to use color scheme generators with my students. Picking a color pallete for a design seems like a real struggle for beginners, even with a solid foundation of color theory. This website has the top ten color tools.

I would love to hear feedback from teachers who use any of these in their classrooms. Which one is the best? What do students think of them?

Iconongraphy Development

From Felix Sockwell's website:


Felix Sockwell is a high end identity designer and illustrator. His icons are simple, clean, and brilliant! When I teach students about designing logos, I like to show them the process of evolution an icon design can go through, and the truly endless possibilities.

Felix Sockwell on Drawger - Mr. Sockwell designed the New York Times GUI for a new iPhone application. This page shows his process - a fantastic resource to share with your students!

Felix Sockwell's Professional Website - He shares so many great examples of his work here. Just be cautious, not all of the work is appropriate for students.
