The vibrant colors and arresting shapes of this painting inspired our designers in a variety of ways. Each used papers and elements found in the Emancipation Kit by FeiFei's Stuff and Leiko Beck Designs Oscraps.com to put her own spin on the original image's themes.  

Color is powerful, and some combinations are bound to appeal to you more than others. Think of the bold primary colors of a Georgia O'Keeffe or the delicate pastel tones of a Monet. Do you like warm colors, cool colors or both? What emotions does a particular color set evoke? Do the colors you've chosen soothe, energize, excite? Give your next digital project added artistic punch with a color scheme borrowed from a favorite piece of art.

Do you struggle with basic layout design? Let shape, or the arrangement of shape, in an art piece be your guide to designing a balanced layout every time. Designer Zalaine was attracted to the fluidity of the curves in the inspiration piece and translated the flow from one to another to her own layout as a symbolic link between the past, present and future.
