Thanks, Clayton, I appreciate the kind words. Really glad you found the post useful, we thought it was an important place for folks to start also. And the opinions will not falter.

Thanks for the useful post. Color basics is a good place to start for up and coming artists. And CK, chill out, it’s a blog written by a PERSON with opinions. That’s what makes blogs so great! Opinion-ate on, Rob.

@ CK — While I respect and appreciate your opinion, I am going to have to disagree. For numerous reasons, actually. Number 1 is because Dead Wings is about attitude, and so I will not refrain from letting that attitude pervade my writing and other creative pursuits here on this site. Number 2 I write for a number of different sites and on this one here, I will never bite my tongue or hold it. Especially given that our current socio-political climate is all about silencing the voices of dissent. I firmly hold the belief that too many people allow themselves and their ideas to be bowed or bent by this climate, and I will not.

On this site, if I think of something and I want to say it, I will. And I will make no apologies about it. If this turns people away from my site, then so be it. There are many other sites out there that will suit them better and I do not begrudge them this act at all. They may have come here for design, and they will get it to, but they will also get uncensored Rob along with it. Take it or leave it. I will just keep doing what I’m doing.

Thanks for the link, and again, your thoughts. Take care.

While you’ve surely included some useful information about color for designers, your upfront political statement — “…not the racism pervading the war on terror” — is better suited for some paragraph near the end of your article, if included at all. People have come to your sight to learn about design, not be exposed to your particular political opinion and, whatever that sentiment may or may not be, humorous or serious, politics makes strange bedfellows and will cause many to turn away from such postings.

Related to color use, I have also found another resourceful site at http://www.colourlovers.com/. Have a good week.

@ Dian — Thanks for the comments on this post about nothing to do with this post whatsoever. The sentiment is about a 7.5 but the follow through may need a little fine-tuning, I only give it about a 2.

…and there will be more freebies, just later. Thanks again.
