i went to the bookstore just yesterday to pick up this book, “caffeine for the creative mind” by stephan mumaw and wendy lee oldfield. the book was not at the design section (as i had initially thought), but it was under self-help, together with a couple of books on creativity and innovation. being a person who sometimes buys books coz the covers look really, really nice (i’m still resisting on the gorgeous covers of penguin books), this was one of those books that i just had to get.

wow… just stumbled upon bannerblog (was sent a link to a banner from my alma mater) and the first banner on the root page had me interacting with it for a good five minutes (i gotta get the coffee beans out!!).
set up by two aussie creatives, the site serves more as a repository and gallery for the bits of online advertising that you might not have seen (coz we all know how cluttered the web can be…) and it is a good place to get some inspiration even for non-interactive type creatives.
i’m definitely bookmarking the site for future reference!

i’m back… managed to surface from the haze of work and lethargy to write. the past month, i’ve not had much time to sit down and think about the stuff i’ve read elsewhere in the web so no postings.
i found this link while surfing the web and it is something that have been crossing my mind since i’ve started work. it is an article by the design institute of australia (DIA) talking about having a career in design, its pros and cons.
no matter whether you are an experienced designer or a student of design that’s just starting out in the industry… there must have been times when you’ve asked yourself ‘do i really want to be a designer? what makes me a designer? what makes a good designer? am i cut out to be one?’
