by: Matthew Griffin

It's hard to believe that Friday is already here again. I guess it just went fast because I've been trying to catch up after losing a week to SXSWi. There were some very original articles posted this week by some of my favorite bloggers. I especially liked Tutorial Blog's guide to color schemes. Who would have thought to look at North Portland homes for design inspiration?

This unique article presents a number of photos taken in a North Portland neighborhood. Above each photo is an extracted color palette. This is definitely one to bookmark and revisit.

Tips for Part-Time Web Designers - Vandelay Website Design
A lot of the articles I write assume that my audience is made up of full-time web workers. I know this isn't always the case. In this article Steven Snell has done a wonderful job of addressing the struggles of the part-time web designer and how they can move toward web design freedom.

21 Best Photoshop Text Effects - Elite By Design
What can I say? This is a great list.

100+ Flickr Resources - Traffikd
This list is just overwhelming. If you've ever done any work with Flickr or plan to do any, make sure you bookmark this one. It's got everything from simple album embedding to geo-coded photo maps.

At one point, Steve Jobs claimed that no one reads anymore. Sarah Perez claims that people actually do read, they just prefer to read online. If you work with any kind of online content, you will find this article helpful.
