Design Challenge #5 - August 2012 - THE COLORS
 

We're bringing the July Design Challenge to a close in about a week so it's time to get ready for the August Design Challenge!

We are going back to a color swatch for this challenge but you can expect to see theme challenges come up every so often! Thanks to everyone who sent in a color swatch idea this time. If you don't see the swatch you sent in, be patient...it'll probably show up in the next DC poll.

This thread is to discuss the color swatch for the next Design Challenge. 5 different color swatches have been created and added to the poll above for you to vote on. The swatch with the most votes will be the one we use next month!

Place your vote above and leave some suggestions for possible uses or themes for the swatch you voted for!
All MouseScrappers can vote, regardless of whether you plan to participate in the challenge or not.

Do you have an idea for a color swatch?
You may at any time submit suggestions for color swatches for the Design Challenge. To do so, please PM frogfish (Christina) with your color choices. Color swatches should contain exactly 6 colors (neutral colors need not be included in the swatch as they may be used for papers/elements even if they are not included in the swatch). You may use the template below to submit colors (right click to save the PNG) or simply send the hex codes.

Please note that suggested swatches may not necessarily appear the following month. The monthly color poll will only include 5 choices and depending on the number of swatch suggestions received, there may not be room for all of them. Also, to ensure that the monthly color poll has many very unique choices, swatches that are similar to other submissions may not appear. Unused swatches will be retained for possible use in upcoming months. We reserve the right to alter any suggested swatch if colors are too far out of gamut (which means they will not print correctly).

I love #2, it makes me think of the colors of Saratoga Springs resort!!!

Some people listed suggested uses for the swatches they submit.

Here they are:

1.) Peter Pan characters, Jungle Cruise, Animal Kingdom
2.) Aurora, romantic evening
3.) Goofy, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
4.) the beach, summer (general)
5.) -no suggestions given-

Please do give suggested uses when you vote; we use them to advertise the DC collabs in the store!

It was tough to choose since they are all pretty nice... but I did! I don't have a theme in mind yet though...

I guess I am the only on that likes #4. I love the soft muted palette... no theme ideas though! lol

After looking at #1, I think it could easily be a Very Merry Christmas kit... maybe that one should be used in Nov. :)

Yes for the colors #1 I immediately thought of Christmas too!.

I voted for#4 , this is a good time for a summer 's kit :)

I like # 5

I voted number 1. I had to think of a backyard, ladybugs, lots of greenery and flowers, maybe even a bbq.

I chose #4. I love the colors for Animal Kingdom as well as the beach. The muted tones are beautiful:thumbsup:

I just voted!

All the colors look pretty. I like the harmony of all the colors in #4 the best, followed by #2. #1 reminds me of Christmas and I'm not quite ready to scrap that holiday quite yet - LOL!
