The Art of Color in Web-design

Friday,31st October was a wonderful day for all at NairoBits as we got a visit from one of Kenya’s prominent artists, Patrick Mukabi, better known as ‘Panye’.

He works as a painter, i.e. those that paint on canvas, with a group of artists known as Kuona Trust. His works are versatile, he says that he gets inspiration from the human race and the way that light falls on them. From his pieces, this is clearly depicted.

He was here to talk to us about how much, we web designers share a lot with the other visual artists; and in a specific way , he concentrated on the aspect of color and space.

He used things around us to explain his points to the core. No doubt everyone got out of the talk with something new. Personally( though this wasn’t part of the topic) I was truly perplexed to learn that when one wakes up after 7am in the morning, possibilities of making it in life are low.

Later on the media labers had a visit from an ex-student, Lorna Yvette Njeri. She talked to them on the matters they really needed to hear, internship and employment, in a more general way let me call it the real world for a web designer.

She has been through a lot in the outside world, and she was so kind to share each and every story from out there.

This got others scared and others more determined. On behalf of the media labers I extend my thanks to Lorna and on behalf of the whole NairoBits family, thanks Panye.
