I feel like I've gathered a mass of brilliant ideas that I want to start uploading and gathering into one location. I feel like this blog is hopefully going to become something I turn to before starting any creative project, we'll see. Anyway I best upload something by the legend that is Bob Gill, it only seems right on a blog about ideas. I can't speak highly enough about his book Design is a Second language, it is just a must.



looking at how he works his magic..


This speaks a lot about Bobs approach that no matter what everything in the world is linked and can be defined in one image. His approach of re-writing the brief is critical but ultimately super effective.

The best place to start???

I think every designer should have a place to dump their thoughts, scribble a list or ramble about things on a daily basis. That is exactly what I want to try and use this blog for and hopefully somewhere along the way someone might find it of some interest or inspiration for themself... who knows :-)

I don't really know the best place to start is, so I suppose I'll upload the image that for me really defines my study at Uni. That's where life gets really interesting after all!



I was put on the spot by my tutor to show him something that I aspire to and this John West Advert by Leo Burnet Ltd London was the first and only thing that came into my head. To me it is the perfect balance between the familiar and play. Perfect observation executed in a manor that is so simple it says everything it needs to. After all the biggest ideas are often the simplest.
