New! 2012 Color Trends Home & Interior – All 9 Pantone Palettes!

Here is the full Pantone color release for Interiors & Furnishings, and Pantone’s own color stories regarding all nine color palletts! I don’t normally quote content, but as the creators, I thought you might be interested in reading Pantone’s reflections about the creative process behind this year’s color trends, straight from the source. Everyone will have favorites, but I love “The Comics” for this group’s fearless and pure color bravado. Throughout this week, I’ll take a look at the color palettes individually, and hopefully contribute meaningful thoughts and impressions on making these diverse color groups work in your home, in 2012 and beyond…

“The nine palettes for 2012 are: Nonchalance, Subtleties, Resilience, Indigo Effects, and Transcending Time, Back to the Fuchsia, Reflections, Nouveau Neon and The Comics”.

Pantone Nonchalance Palette

“The simplicity and casual ambiance in this palette, called Nonchalance, are easy to read and enjoy. The reassuring colors coax a feeling of tranquility and relaxation with no suggestion of anxiety in the surroundings. The comforting pastel pinks, ethereal blues and soft egret white wrap us in carefree baby blanket colors, harmoniously blending with the more mature taupe, gray and grape tones”.

Pantone Sublties Palette

Subtleties are just that – a close connectivity between the color families, sliding effortlessly into a seamless collection of hues that are either closely related or quietly complementary. The atmosphere they present is effortless and compatible: hazy coral, soft yellow green, faded rose, stonewashed blue and tinges of gray and green artfully set against a tasteful brown earthy red.

Pantone Resilience Palette

Resilience represents a group of sturdy hues that work very well together. It speaks of hand-hewn objects of substance, sustenance and solidity in a range of natural, outdoor shades. There are nuances of the deepest browns, varietal mushroom tones, foliage green and greenish yellow. A dash of flamingo orange adds an exotic touch to this otherwise organic grouping.

Pantone Indigo Effects

Like the twilight colors of a descending night sky, Indigo Effects evokes a mood of broad expansiveness and depth – enveloping and protective, yet mysterious. The colors are variations on a blue theme – celestial and majestic blues, purpled and deep blue indigos – all deftly brushed with contrasting strokes of maroon, mauve and moody gray.

Pantone Transcending Time Color Palette

Transcending Time is a palette that speaks of continuity – inspirations from the past, both style and color-wise, which continue well into the future – containing hues that heirlooms are made of, including elegant wine and plum, warm beige and wood tones, as well as classic rose. A touch of frosted almond adds a soft and subtle glimmer to the atmosphere.

Pantone Back To Fuschia

Bold, daring and audacious, this is a group of tantalizing colors that makes no excuses for the attention it creates. Back to the Fuchsia celebrates the energy generated through the provocative melding of dancing reds, purples and pink, all highlighted by a variety of fuchsias. Jewel-toned peridot both accentuates and complements the hotter hues.

Pantone Reflections Palette

Glossy finish and color are a magical coupling, fascinating the eye and riveting attention. Metallic or glassy surfaces undulate and move and twist and turn, taking colors to new dimensions. Included in this arresting palette, called Reflections, are tones and tints that spark the imagination: Turkish sea, blue moon, garnet, beluga, cloud dancer as well as the classic silver and gold.

The colors of the Nouveau Neon palette are not the phosphorescent neon’s of yesterday. They are instead a collection of exuberant shades that bring a fresh new perspective to combinations. Asian-inspired bamboo yellow-green plays with orange Popsicle® and berry purples, while citrus colors toy with pink and raspberry. A flavorful butter-rum tan is the unexpected accompaniment to all of the vibrant colors in the palette.

What vector and raster image are?

Graphic designers use many different tools to create beautiful images, but there is a very important technical side to the profession. Designers need to not only create art, but they must also hand over the art to the client in the correct file format. After all, what good is a design if it can’t be used easily by the client?

Understanding File Formats

There are two types of drawing programs used when drawing on the computer: Vector and Raster. Clients need both types of graphics, but don’t run out and buy more software – let’s first understand the differences.

Vector

Vector images are made up of lines and curves with points. To simplify a very technical description, a vector graphic is made up of lines and points with information attached to them. For example: If you were to draw a circle, the drawing would be made up of a line with a curve (360 degrees), a beginning and end point, a specific size, an outline color for the line, and the “fill”, or the color inside the line.

What makes vector images popular among graphic designers, printing companies, and other people who work with images is the fact that vector images are scalable – they can be easily made larger or smaller without losing any image quality. When you change the size of the image, the software simply redraws the design in the new size.

Professional designers also create vector images using “layers” – a feature which allows designers to isolate each element of the design in its own space. When all of the layers are shown together, the entire graphic looks like one image. Using layers makes it easier to change vector designs at any time – any designer can take a vector image file and look at individual layers to change the colors, fonts, or layout of a design. This is useful for an image that will be used with different media – a logo printed on a brochure can be more detailed and smaller than a logo sewn on a hat.

File formats: .ai .fh .cdr

Common Programs: Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand, CorelDraw

Raster

Raster files are images made up of square dots, called pixels. Each flat dot can be a different color in your picture. When you look at the dots from far away, they blend together and produce beautiful images, but when you zoom in, you can see the pixels.

What makes Raster images different is that when you want to make a picture larger or smaller, the resolution quality goes down. When you enlarge an image, the edges of the elements in the image look boxy and bumpy because the computer has no idea what to put in between the pixels that are there, or how to smooth them out. When you shrink an image, the computer has to just throw away random pixels. The pixels themselves can’t be made smaller, so the image just needs to have fewer of them.

All of this might make using raster graphic sound inferior, but they actually have specific uses that make them better than vector images:

• Internet: Raster files are smaller, so websites download faster.
• Photographs: Digital Photos are always raster images, and they are easy to take and edit.
• Clipart: You can insert raster images into a document or presentation in seconds.
• Screen resolution: The resolution of computer monitors are all the same, so raster images always look good.

File formats: .bmp .gif .jpg .png .tiff .pict .psd

Common Programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks

So Which One Do You Use?

When you deliver a logo or a graphic design to a client, always deliver both formats. Customers will ask for “source files”, which mean files that can be edited and changed. A client may need vector files for printing, but raster for a posting on a website. Experienced designers have figured out an easy way to provide both types of files – design the original graphic using a vector design program, and then create a variety of vector and raster-based versions of the files from it. For example, using Adobe Illustrator it is easy to design a vector logo, select “Save As” and then choose both vector and raster-type files formats required by the client.

7 steps to make worst logo design

Who would want to create the worst logo design ever? It is something that all logo designers avoid. However if they are not careful, they can end up doing just that. Today’s post will be a continuation of my previous post “How to Lose a Logo Design Contest in 10 Ways” and will highlight a few mistakes. These are fairly common errors found today among logo designers and lead to a poor logo design that the client does NOT want. Follow these steps, and you too can create the worst logo design ever.

1. Use Stock Images and Clip Art – Stock images are downloaded by hundreds of people every day for free. Using them can severely devalue a company and then there is the ever rising risk of copyright infringement.

2. Use Logo Makers – Even though it is your job to come up with your own new designs as a logo designer, take the shortcut and use a free logo maker. So what if the logo is of poor quality? You’ve managed to create a logo that will most likely never win. Now move on to the next contest.

3. Use Multiple Colors – Colors make a logo look more appealing. Using too many of them however will give any viewer a headache. This will also increase aspirin sales.

4. Add Unattractive Fonts – Unattractive fonts can turn heads – away from the logo, that is. Use fonts that are completely out of sync with the theme of the design. The more unattractive it looks the more likely it is to get looked over.

5. Use Unappealing Symbols and Objects – Draw up some random symbols and overused images, or get them from the internet or use the free graphic symbols given with the designing software, and put them all together hoping for them to somehow sync together. Now that’s what I call online abstract painting!

6. Lack of Imagination, Depth and Creativity – These are very time consuming. Avoid them. Just spend about 10 – 15 minutes thinking about the logo design you will create and then start putting your ideas to work.

7. Be Experienced in Having No Experience– If you can’t make heads or tails out of your design draft, it is ready for submission!

Well there you have it, 7 ways to create a bad logo design. Follow the above mentioned tips and designers can rest assured that their drafts will get nominated for the Logo Design Razzie Awards. If only there was such a thing!
