3 design in color

Fab blogger, graphic designer and teacher Andrea Pippins is a huge inspiration to me. I remember when I first stumbled upon her blog,Fly, in 2008 I spent hours reading it from inception to present just because I couldn't get enough! I love this project that she created highlighting designers of color as educational materials. I think it's so crucial to provide examples of careers in the creative arts to minority kids. Growing up, I was always encouraged for my artistic talent, but I had absolutely no guidance on how to translate that into a career.

Design in color provides current examples of designers making a difference in their prospective fields.





With the overabundance of stereotypes presented to kids, this is an awesome alternative. I hope it inspires you as much as it did for me! All photos via andreapippins.com. If you don't know her blog, go check it out NOW!

Almost exactly two years ago I did a post about a phenomenal graphic artist by the name of Matt Moore. I was so drawn to his unforgettable explosive use of color and psychedelic patterns. Since then, I've been following his work and but hadn't really learned much about him. My Modern Met recently did an excellent interview with the artist that gives insight into his process, his inspiration and what's to come!

Check out a few of his pieces below and then go read the entire interview.
