50 Gorgeous Color Schemes From Award-Winning Websites

50 Gorgeous Color Schemes From Award-Winning Websites | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Color is such a fundamental part of the way we perceive the world that we often take it for granted. Think about it: From the youthful and vivid orange on someone’s attire to the gray and gloomy sky above us, colors have the power to mold our perceptions of others and even the circumstances we find ourselves in.


This is why one of the most powerful tools in a designer’s arsenal is color. It can either make or break a design; it can be the determining factor in engaging viewers or sending them promptly on their way.


As a non-designer, I often find it difficult to find just the right colors for my amateur projects. Whether I’m creating a simple image to support my content or more elaborate projects such as a slide deck or infographic, I frequently spend a good amount of time looking for the perfect color scheme. I ask myself questions like: Do I want my design to be inviting? Provocative and bold? Or intelligent and elegant?


Unless you’re a seasoned designer, it takes time and effort to find a color combination that works, which is why the design team at Visme decided to provide our users with a handy list of beautiful color schemes from websites that have been recognized by Awwwards, the most prestigious award for Web designers and developers....

Wix launches automated web design service built on artificial intelligence

Wix launches automated web design service built on artificial intelligence | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

DIY website building service Wix.com has launched a new “artificial design intelligence” (ADI) service to automate the process of building websites.

Founded out of Tel Aviv in 2006, Wix has so far served as an easy-to-use web development platform aimed at helping novices build HTML5 sites using drag-and-drop tools rather than code, while offering complementary services such as web hosting. Now with Wix ADI, the Tel Aviv-based company is looking to make creating websites even easier by using data garnered from its existing user base to feed into its new AI offering. So, websites created by algorithms is the general gist here.

Wix ADI is touted as the “first-ever AI solution for website design and creation,” and is being gradually introduced to users over the next few months. It is free to use in itself, but it’s subject to the usual Wix.com subscription plans that vary in price depending on the required bandwidth, storage, and other personal preferences....

Interesting application of AI to website design.
