Having built up a wide range of design experience across a number discipline's and market sectors I have learnt a great deal about the difference between a great concept and a really great product. Though much of this education has come about through experience in the work place and pushing products through to market I owe a lot of my professional design development to the internet and what I consider to be peer assisted learning.
Many of the online resources that I use today I happened to stumble across through following links on other designers blogs and bits and bobs I receive in emails or facebook posts from friends and colleagues. Whilst this is all well and good it can often be difficult to remember which sites are good and which one's just aren't worth wasting your time with. So in a bid to help myself I decided to start a blog to keep a cumulation of useful links and design articles that I find useful and could be of benefit to my peers. As well as this I will be adding in some of my own views and opinions and encourage others to spark a bit of debate about design issues and the community in which we work.
This Blog is an accumulation of creative bits and pieces that I have found across the web.
