Beautiful Staple Zine & Booklet Inspiration

Recently I’ve had an idea of putting together a small staple-bind magazine (or “zine” as they’re commonly referred as). I want to give print design a bit of a bash.

I want to be able to hold something beautiful that I created in my own hands, and send them out to my followers as something to help inspire them with their work, so in this post I’ve collected a few examples of things I really like. I thought I’d share them with you, and hopefully get your advice, too.

The Inspiration Blog

New site: The Inspiration Blog

Ben and I have been hard at work again to bring you guys another source of design inspiration – we’re not quite like the others though; instead of using showcases and round-ups to fill the gaps of our already existing blog, we’re basing this site on those showcases and round-ups completely, meaning they’ll be more resourceful, inspirational and motivational.

The site focuses on everything design-orientated, which is, well, everything! We’ll be showcasing the work of graphic designers, illustrators, interior designs, photographers, architects, product designers… you name it, we’ll most probably feature it at some point in the near future.

So, be sure to head on over and check out the new site, and whilst you’re their down forget to to subscribe by RSS or Email, follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!

A Splash of Sleek Blue Web Design Inspiration

I’ve seen a few compilation posts recently showcaing different colour-schemed web designs – I thought I’d give it a shot myself. I have rounded up a selection of 30 stunning blue web designs to showcase here for inspiration. With it heading into Summer and all (at least it is here in the UK), all of us British designers and developers are hoping clear and bright blue skies should soon be making a regular appearance – hopefully this post will get us all in the spirit for some sunshine, although we probably don’t need much encouragement!

New T-Shirt Design on Threadless – “A Designers Life”

As a little break from writing, I recently produced a design that is more or less suitable for everything. Originally thinking it were going to be used for a poster, I ended up submitting it as a t-shirt design on the popular Threadless.com.

With the submission going through the administration list reasonably quickly (overnight!), it is now live for scoring. This is where you guys come in! For my t-shirt to go into production it needs as many good votes as possible. It only takes a few minutes to register to Threadless and hit the 5* button!
