Rabbit plague in the office
Posted by Zoë6 April, 2010
Thanks to Spectrum for all the Lindt bunny's that were (were being the key word here) running around the office on Friday. As can be seen below, some did not even last long enough to make the photoshoot untouched.
Cool Online Colour Tool - for Colour blindness conditions
Posted by Zoë11 March, 2010
Cool TOOL
In one of our online searches for useful resources, I came across a Colour Blindness Simulator. Apparently, around one in twenty people have some form of colour blindness. This means your website, brochure, logo, or even your overall attire may appear to some as one blur of colour.
The most common form or colour blindness is protanopia, occurs in between 1% and 5% of males (varying by race) and in approx. 0.1% of females. Try out this online tool and test some of your images. You'll be amazed at the different outcomes. This site even has a colour check to determine a safe contrast between background colour, and foreground/text colour for ease of readability. This is especially helpful for those with colour deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen. See an example of protanopia below on one of our recent mailouts.
Perhaps you are one of this 0.1% - 5% and don't see anything wrong with this comparison? For examples of other forms, try the tritanopia and dueteranopia image tests.
