Ask HN: Tool for creating app mockups?

1 pointmfalcon4 comments

It's time for me to begin the design phase of my first startup and I'm thinking of Photoshop in order to test different colors.

I use html tables to show financial information and It'd be nice to use gradients. Plain colors don't look nice, at least the combinations that I had tried.

CSS3 has gradient support in many modern browsers. Try using this tool to generate some CSS gradients that you can drop into your HTML tables to play with the colors: http://gradients.glrzad.com/

Thanks!, it's a great way to play with different combinations.

Are you thinking of designing or coloring?

Don't just start with 'what looks nice' - start with what you want to communicate and then do that. That's how you 'design'.

Btw, your question title didn't match your explanation. What exactly are you asking for?

I want to communicate security but with a little of informality. I have the site layout and now I'm looking for the combination of colours to make it look nice.
