Inspiration in Red: The FYC Edition
Once upon a time, on a blog that was a huge fan of this one, a series of inspirational experiments was launched to determine if the source that we were inspired by, could in fact, through the use of a predominant color, drive our inspirational output towards the same themes that are associated with that color. It began with Inspiration in Red. There was always an intention to follow up on that with another run to further gather input and results. And where better to test the waters than on a site with a fixed focus on inspiring and engaging the design community?
So welcome to an FYC edition of the popular Inspiration in Color series. And given that we are on Fuel Your Creativity, how could we not start with the color red once more? So this is the beginning of the second series of posts focused on images that are primarily of a singular selected color. Inspiration in Red: The FYC Edition, features another awesome collection of imaginative and emotive works from all around the design world with two distinct purposes. The first, of course, is to inspire you, but also to see whether or not that inspiration tends to manifest elements that are associated with the color of choice. Passion, aggression, love, danger, strength, war, vigor, and courage, are generally associated with the color red. Who knows where this inspiration will take you, but you will be the only one that can tell…

That’s a Wrap!
So now the ball is in your court. If you have found yourself inspired by this series then by all means, please submit the end results of those inspirations to the FYC Flickr Group, and simply tag them ‘fycincolor’. Regardless of if you want to show us the work you created, we would love to hear your thoughts on this experimental inspirational process, so let your thoughts flow in the comment section below.

This is a great collection. Thanks for sharing. Kudos to your writers and researchers!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
There is such a wide range of RED out there. Very cool pictures. There was a study done that the color red actually tricks your mind into thinking your hungrier than you really are. (hence the reason most fast food restaurants colors are red: McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Arby’s.)
After seeing this I mindlessly went straight to the fridge… hmmmm… interesting.
Haha anyways, I do love this a lot. Especially the photographs at the end, so powerful.
I didn’t know that Megan. So that’s why I was so hungry after finishing this up last night!
I recently went off red completely, it is my companies main brand colour, so I have to use it all the time.
It’s so difficult to get right, so easy for it to go muddy brown or pink. But these are definitely inspiring.
I totally agree Rachel. When I was trying to get the Arbenting red right it took me a few tries because it kept going to that muddy brown color. But red done right can be so energizing and inspiring!
