The Anonymous Street Art Legend: Banksy

by colorfreak | May 25, 2009

Banksy is a street artist that I have been admiring for a long time now. I first discovered him in a local newspaper and have since been fascinated by his work. He has sold his artworks for extremely high prices to celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera.

Despite being hugely popular he has managed to remain anonymous all this time, with only his closest friends and his agent knowing who he really is.

He has performed many crazy stunts, one of the craziest ones being that he put up a picture of the Mona Lisa with a smiley face on it in the Louvre in Paris.

I have put together a few my favorite works by Banksy for you to drool over. If you want more, check out his website.

Use elements from real life in your design

When designing a web site, a great idea to make the design unique is to use elements from real life, such as nature, instead of going for the standard "Web 2.0" style. That will make your web site stand out, and when done properly, can look great.
A good example is Go Glamping. They use trees in the header, and a wood texture for the background, which give the site a great feeling.

Finding inspiration for color schemes

If you are starting a new project but have no idea what color scheme to use in your design, a great place to find inspiration is COLORlovers where you can find colors, color pallets and patterns.
Another great place to go for color inspiration is Adobe Kuler, Adobe's very own color theme site.
