These collections are just so inspiring. The way you box them up one under the other in that letterbox shape really works well.

It’s almost like you have created a live swatch pallet with all these screenshots.

It is a wonderful collection and I am certainly inspired by a lot of these, I think the earth feel is a great way to keep your feet grounded without flying into space or some other non existent dimension.

Looking forward to see your new site design.
