iDesign Test Rig

iDesign Test Rig (Feb 2009)| Logical colour-scheme generation testing.

This probably shouldn't be classed as a public project but I guess it will do here for now. It was just an idea that hit me recently; that aesthetics has so many quantifiable rules it may be even possible to generate websites that look good based upon a random number or colour. This is the test rig on which I'm building my ideas to see what happens. I've started reasonably safe, experimenting with colour-scheme generation on a basic layout.

Take a look, click on the colours, type in a colour code or reload the page for a random colour. It's not quite perfect yet though! So I'll not be taking my designs from it quite yet!
