COLOURlovers - When you need a little color in your life

COLOURlovers is a social networking site designed for people who work with and love color. The site monitors color trends and gives users a place to get their color on by comparing different color palettes with other users, commenting on palettes, and readings articles and interviews about color.

The site is designed with creative professionals in mind who are working with color on a daily basis. Product designers, graphic artists, advertising professionals, or people who just want to look at pretty colors can search through different palettes on the site for inspiration and use keywords to filter through the system and find a color scheme that works well for their particular needs. the site also has some sample magazine covers and websites up so you can see a particular color scheme in action.

As far as social networking sites go this one is a pretty useful one. An inspired idea for people who may need a little inspiration.

Microsoft's Expression design suite shipping in mid 2007

microsoft expressionMicrosoft is busy completing its first crack at knocking on Adobe's door by developing a suite of web and graphic design software called Expression Studio. The scheduled launch date is for the middle of 2007, and it will be selling for about $599 as a package.

The software suite will include Expression Web, a revamped FrontPage, Expression Blend which is an interactive design tool previously called Interactive Designer, Expression Design, used for layout and graphic design, and Expression Media photo management software. Expression Web, Expression Blend, and Expression Media are currently available online for $299, $299 and $499.

I don't see these Microsoft products knocking down Adobe's doors. I see them more as small time home user applications. I could be wrong, but as a professional Adobe user, there is no way I would dream of making that switch. What do you think? Are these going to be heavy hitters in the marketplace?
