Two weeks of moderately increased productivity

No more needless surfing through other peoples awesomeness for two whole weeks… Starting now.

First, i’m going to list the sites I rumble through most days for inspiration… basic delaying tactics mixed with overly influenced idea generation.

Here they are in no particular order (apologies in advance to anyone who loses a day sifting through these links):

www.siteinspire.com
www.qbn.com
www.itsnicethat.com
www.grafikcache.com
www.thedesignfiles.net
www.formfiftyfive.com
www.bitique.co.uk
www.graphic-exchange.com
www.australianedge.net
www.behance.net
www.thefinderskeepers.com
www.andyrutledge.com
www.manystuff.org
ffffound.com
www.typojungle.net
madebysix.wordpress.com
www.underconsideration.com/brandnew
www.aisleone.net

Don’t get me wrong i’m not blaming them for any lack on productivity, in fact far from it–I love them and will miss them dearly, we may well produce no quality work for two weeks.

No, seriously it is time to close firefox, open my eyes, explore new ways of finding inspiration and breath in some fresh air. Call it my two week sabbatical, minus Bali, Sagmeister and a web browser.

Here goes…

great list.

You look like the right type

You look like the right type is a neat little blog by Mark Addison Smith living in Chicago. Each day, he writes down dialogue overheard spoken around him from “honest-to-gosh real people”. At the end of the day, he  turns this  jot-list into a stack of tiny sketches. Posting one a day. Twenty four hours later, a new collection begins. Love it! keep up the good work Mark. Mark’s blog

Nothing
