Design Every Day – Week 03

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Another week has come and gone, and I’m still designing something every day. My favorite this week is the Ghost Pop Can. You can be the judge. Take a look at the First Week and Second Week posts if you’d like!

Day 001 – Color Scheme

I just played around with some desaturated colors, developing two color schemes that are interchangeable. Everything has been about winter, so I wanted to create a spring and fall scheme that, if combined, creates a summer feel.
