Take today to focus on where you can find creative inspiration. We have awesome resources available to us in this room that are rarely used. the ability to appreciate and to recognize amazing graphic design is something that most beginning designers don’t value but it is awesome.

Use time today to look at our galleries and our Links pages to see amazing resources. I am also now including occasional inspiring site links on the Captains Notes section of the homepage. We have an awesome collection of design publications in many books and magazines. I would love for you to thumb through these or use as research resources for future projects. In particular check out the magazines “Communication Art” and “How”, as they have amazing design articles and artwork.
