Southwestern Design Influences

One of the benefits of travel is the chance to learn and absorb design influences from other cultures. The state of New Mexico (USA) is home to three cultures; Mexican, Native American and Spanish. Each contributes to the vocabulary of architecture, decor and art that is known as southwestern style. There is an uninhibited use of color in southwestern style that mimics the strong colors seen in nature. I look forward to using some of these influences in my future web design!

In Adelaide, South Australia, we are so very close to the Aboriginal lands. The influence of Indigeous art has made it into so many aspects of the design world, from fashion to art to the good old tea towel. It is yet to permeate web design in any significant way but I think the ochre and white in particular will be both distinctive and original, as well as providing good contrast on the web.
