The idea I have in mind for the colors is to get the feeling of a 1940's or 1950's gas station or a garage. Vintage paper, cardboard, greasy hands, oil drops, heavy metal tools, gas station insignia... which colour could take the visitor back in time?

1-3 main colors and few effect colors for spicing up.

Red, aqua, and black.
When I think of the 50's, those are the colors I think of!

My sincerest apologies for not posting this in the proper place but the "bugs" thread is not letting me post.

For some reason a whole heap of stuff doesn't seem to be working properly. Noone's palettes/patterns are showing up on their profiles, just the bio and recent comments, I can't edit anything and none of the drop down menus are working.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

I just love this. The peachy colours look so calming and serene and then there's the grey and the turquoise which gives off a 50's feel (which I just love on its own). It's a perfect colour palette for this summer.

Check out the new homepage!

Contrary to the cliché, not all artists are solitary creatures. With Tagtool Touch, collaborative creation is the name of the game - it's easy to hook up several iPads over Wifi to paint in the same projection.

Tagtool Touch is ingenious entertainment for visual people. It's an educational activity that helps break down social barriers. Above all, it's a serious artistic instrument, for inspired and authentic visuals.
