My Colour Diary

Many designers keep sketchbooks full of images for ideas and inspiration. How about keeping one for colour schemes? The possibilities are endless.

One of my most prized possessions is my Colour Diary from my days of studying Textile Design. We were encouraged to keep and update our diaries weekly. As a mature student and a bit of a nerd, I would spend my Friday evenings doing exactly that. I found looking through magazines along with the cutting and pasting quite addictive yet relaxing at the end of the week.

Most pages are inspired by a single word:

TROPICAL


BOHEMIAN



NANTUCKET (Americana)


SPICE

Of course, these pages are my own interpretation of each word. If you would like to start your own colour diary, I would advise you to use a small notebook otherwise you may find it harder to fill the pages.
