This Website caught my eye yesterday as I was looking through entries on CSS Mania. I posted this screenshot on Flickr. I did a pretty extensive commentary on Flickr in the summary and using the notes feature to point out different elements on the page.

What I really like about this site is the sense of dimension that it has. The designer used texture, shadow and highlights to make this design come alive. A couple of horizontal elements look like they fold behind the main content area and this adds to the illusion of dimension. I also liked the color scheme of this site.  Nice work FortySeven Media.

Sidenote — I was excited a couple of weeks ago when CSS Mania posted my design for Big-Break.com.

I love color and I constantly see colors and would like to know what their values are so that I could use them in Web design. Whether it is colors at a restaurant or colors in magazines, I would really love to have this tool so that I could capture the colors that inspire me.

I have been interested in this product for about 2 years. I really wish I had requested in the budget for our office a couple of years ago. Money is much tighter this year, and my personal budget cannot afford it right now. Oh, to dream what I could do if I had this.
