Ben Pritchard's Kuler Panel Article

Thursday, August 30, 2007   

I am a big fan of the Kuler approach to collaborative design (aesthetics) and I have the Kuler panel running in my Flash CS3 IDE & also as a Dashboard widget. So, I am not unique here in my appreciation of Kuler and also of Ben's work (pixelfumes).

I just came across Ben's well-written article (August 11th) about the process of creating the Kuler widget. This is great reading as it allows one to peer into the design/coding process and not just read about how to code something up that works. If there was a book out there where each chapter was a Flash application autopsy like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I love hearing about people's design processes, what they encountered along the way, and how it call came together.

Ben's approach is quite elegant and its a bit inspiring for me. I really love articles like this. Since Pixelfumes hails from Pittsburgh (the best city east of the Mississippi), I like them even more than perhaps normal.
