“There’s this new trend of organizing books by color. I love this photo by chotda linked via the Rainbow of Books Flickr group. This growing trend is cool but if I were gonna do this, I’d probably have to create a little digital database so I’d be able to find the right book I was [...]
Welcome to Living in the Whine Country. New design going on, so please be patient and let me know on any issues.
Its not often I use exclamation marks on a title, but this deserves it. It may be the geek designer in me, but the effect they showed at Siggraph was absolutely amazing.
