Funky Interiors gets a funky makeover
I’m back! yay! Its been a long time coming, I’ve been so busy with other projects but at last I now have the time to devote to my beloved Funky Interiors. I’m so excited by the new, fresh design of Funky too! I absolutely love it and hope you do to? Although I aways like a bit of constructive criticism should you care to share.
There were so many design decisions to make and a few design rules to break. Web Design is much like Interior design when it comes to colour schemes and I think I drove my web designer nuts with my request to have a monochromatic scheme with every colour of the spectrum included. “Buts that’s all of them, How about we just go for a contrasting colour scheme?” he said. A contrasting colour scheme, as many of you probably know, is when you chose two colours that are on the opposite sides of the colour spectrum, great for creating a striking and vibrant design e.g Orange with blue or yellow with purple. We had a bit of a spectrum argument, the spectrum reminded him of all those homemade websites and the homemade signs with the spectrum gradient used to fill in the text title, remember those? Using the full spectrum is very difficult to get right, I’ll admit, but I love colour and I love colour wheels.
He also advised following the 70%/20%/10% rule, which is a great rule for interior design whichever type of colour scheme you choose to follow. To cut a long story short, I agreed with him. I told him I had every faith in his design abilities to overcome the spectrum challenge. Then I went ahead and chose 70% in tints of black, 20% in white and 10% in the spectrum. Which in my mind was what I asked for in the first place, I just needed to add a bit of flattery to the challenge. I love the result. The logo was the hardest challenge to get right – How and where to add the spectrum colour range but I think we got there in the end.
