The Art of Looking Sideways. A visual feast of a design book by the late, great, Alan Fletcher — who left this world back in 2006. It’s over 1,000 pages long, and here I offer a brief insight into the inspirational publication.
Edward de Bono is one of the very few people in history who can be said to have had a major impact on the way we think. He has written numerous books with translations into 34 languages (all main languages plus Hebrew, Arabic, Bahasa, Urdu, Slovene, Turkish etc).
He is best known for being the originator of the term lateral thinking, and his books on the subject are superb. Here I feature some creative Edward de Bono quotes.
In this short feature, I highlight recent design articles of interest. You’ll find interviews, packaging design, posters and more. Feel free to add your own recent design articles in the comment section.
I’ve launched a new website to document information on the world’s most iconic logo designers. The site features inspirational creatives such as Herb Lubalin, Steff Geissbuhler and Alan Fletcher.

From time-to-time I’ll roundup interesting creative resources and articles. Here follows 7 snippets, with links to other creative blogs and websites.
Colour and emotion are closely related, so it makes sense to pay particular attention to the colour we choose. This list of 48 tools and resources will help, and I’ve separated the links into the following categories: colour palettes and combinations (#1-6), colour theory (#7-16), colour tools (#17-41), colour patterns (#42-44), and colour code (#45+).
Every now and again I’ll compile some noteworthy links / resources, publishing a quick roundup for your convenience. Here follows my creative roundup from the past few weeks, plus a quick snapshot of me in my first ever pair of glasses. Run for the hills!
From time-to-time I’ll feature a number of creative resources that I believe are beneficial to you. This instalment covers typography resources, environmental websites, help with starting your own business and suggestions to make you a better designer.
