Director Kevin McMahon’s 2009 National Film Board documentary, Waterlife: The Story of the Last Great Supply of Fresh Drinking Water on Earth, is accompanied by a fantastic interactive website.

Every month, the editors at HOW magazine choose the Top 10 Sites for Designers - sites that are considered to be fantastic resources or just plain cool.

Have a look at the ‘Making of’ as well.
The Multicolr Search Lab is a part of Idée Labs—Idée’s technology playground for visual search. With the Multicolr Search Lab, you can browse through 10 million of Flickr’s most ‘interesting’ Creative Commons images, and find ones that share the same colours. Choose up to 10 colours from the palette of 120 different shades. Just select one or more colours from the palette and your search will happen automatically. Add more colours, or remove them to update your results. When you first land on the Multicolour Search Lab page, it will be blank. Just pick a colour to get started!
