Feedback: The 216-Color Webmaster's Palette
| I must tell you that it is an impressive piece
of work I can't imagine how I lived without it for so long. — R.D., Volvo IT |
|
| I just wanted to congratulate you on an
excellent design and print job. The poster is a great addition to my growing "library" of web related info. I have one of the two I purchased hanging over my desk in the office and have gotten many positive comments on it. The second one is going over my computer at home. I don't often write to people about things like this, but I was so impressed that I felt compelled to. Thank you for a job VERY well done, as well as the quick response to my order. — R. G. |
| I just got my poster and EVERYONE is
jealous! Thanks for all the hard work that went into it - it will come in very valuable! — JDB |
|
| I got my poster today, and it looks
great! This is the single most useful arrangement of the 216-color palette that I've seen. —A.V. |
| I just got my poster today (and one extra
to use at home or to give my husband - he is a webmaster too). Thank you very much! What a work of art. I am certain I will find many good uses for it. Right now, I have it displayed on the wall in front of my pc and desk at work and I have already gotten lots of positive questions, comments, and compliments on it from co-workers. I hope you get lots of orders. When I heard that the poster was available, I forwarded your message to all of my webmaster pals to tell them of my great "find." Often, when I develop a new page or site, I have to open multiple browser windows so I can pick colors and try them out. With your poster, I won't have to do that anymore! — P.S. |
| WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The poster came. It arrived in perfect condition and it's absolutely I certainly appreciate the care that was taken in wrapping
and shipping it, Wishing you much deserved success, — P.K. |
| How about that -- I wasn't just
making polite noises when I said I was interested in your poster. :) It arrived today, and I think it's fabulous! First I was impressed with how carefully it was packaged. The paper and tissue surrounding the poster were a nice touch. The poster itself is just plain stunning. I liked the design when I first saw it on your web site (saved the GIF, as a matter of fact), but I like the idea of having a companion poster I can hang on the wall near my computer. I agree that the custom ink scheme worked. And how! I have several books (some of Linda Weinman's, among others) that have the web colors in print, but some of the colors just aren't right when converted to CMYK. Whatever you did with the inks really conveys the brilliance of RGB colors on the screen. I hope you sell lots of them! — C.M. |
| Most excellent poster, man! — S.B. |
