Color isn't always better. So says fellow blogger Jennifer Moline in a guest post on Fuelyourcreativity.com. I agree with Jennifer that a two-color design can be just as engaging, influential and emotional as a full color design. Moreover, a predominantly black-and-white or sepia design with just one splash of an accent color can be really memorable. Here are some links to inspiring black, white and sepia business card, logo, and website designs from around the web.

Predominantly black-and-white designs let a splash of color really shine.
