I love this idea of comparing human colour choices to those of a computer:
I decided to do two things: the top three most used colours of the photo decided by “a computer” and my hand picked choices. This method ended up revealing a couple of things about me.
I also love that this was the biggest obstacle to finding representative imagery:
I wanted this to be an exciting task but instead I only found repeated photos of my cat.
How style tiles can work great in combination with content prototypes:
Surprisingly, it helps clients understand the HTML content prototype better. They now clearly see the difference and the relationship between content and design. In general it helps me explain the content-first process better and it helps them make more sense of it.
A lovely little script from Nat to create a nice montage of images. It works by progressively enhancing a regular series of images in the markup.
Samantha does an excellent job of explaining how useful style tiles can be for visual design and iteration.
Samantha put together this handy one-page site to explain Style Tiles as part of her South by Southwest presentation.
