I caught this while browsing NotCot this morning. I’m still working out how it was done (I haven’t looked at the source, but I’m guessing transparent images plus z-order CSS), but scroll down to the bottom, and enjoy the ride. I could scroll this thing all day! It’s also fun to press the “Play” button.

Also, guys, this is a portfolio site. Take note!

Color Jack: Sphere

This is one of the best colour pickers I’ve seen in a while. It allows you to choose the type of colour scheme you want – monochromatic, triadic, split complementary, etc – and then play with all sorts of nifty buttons and dials until you have the scheme that suits you perfectly. You can then export the scheme to Photoshop or Illustrator, which is super nifty.
