The first time I popped open a Mac and realized colour-coding or highlighting folders in colours was now possible, I was ecstatic. To be honest, it was because it was fun to play with. However, it is now an indispensable part of my work as it organizes projects in one glance. But, let’s not forget that it is still a lot of fun too! Artist and designer JK Keller created an application called “Songs About Rainbows” that, upon downloading and selecting a folder, will colour-code all of the files contained in rainbow order. Such a quirky idea that I love. More than anything, I love the example JK created in honour of his app. Each folder contains one word from Kermit the Frog’s “Rainbow Connection” which, it cannot be argued, is one of the sweetest and most colourful songs around.
