Late last night I finished designing my new blog theme. I was feeling pretty tired and decided that it was time to hit the sack. I was on my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth when something rather strange happened.
En route to the bathroom I walked past a pair of shoes which my girlfriend had dropped in the hallway by the front door. I stopped mid step and did a double take, then it hit me… these shoes where a very similar colour to the main background colour used in the new blog theme.
Although this suprised me a little I didn’t think too much of it, after all there are lots of green things in my house. It was then that I noticed the wallpaper.
Much to my disbelief the wallpaper in the hallway (dusky red/pink colour) was almost identical to the other main accent colour from the new design. I had been walking down this same hallway many times a day since starting the new theme, was there some kind of connection or was I imagining it? Feeling somewhat confused I went back to the study and got the camera, above is the picture I took. I did not change any of the colours in photoshop and did no further design work on the blog after taking it. As you can see the similarity is quite astonishing.
How long had the shoes been lying there? Had the shoe/wallpaper combo subconsciously influenced my new blog theme? Or was the whole thing just a coincidence? I have no idea.
