Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Good morn­ing every­one! Before I get to the links, I wanted to note a cou­ple of things. First, the next few weeks will be a lit­tle lighter post­ing than nor­mal. We’ll still have at least one post a day but we most likely won’t be fea­tur­ing the usual 3 – 4. This also means any sub­mis­sion posts you all are wait­ing on will most likely be delayed, though I’ll do my best to get them up as soon as possible.

Then begin­ning July 19^th (when we will be off on our hon­ey­moon!) and for the next two weeks we will be going about post­ing a lit­tle bit dif­fer­ently. I will be draw­ing out some of my favorite fea­tures from the vaults and check­ing in to see what those design­ers, illus­tra­tors and artists have been up to lately. I’ll remind you all of this as we get closer. But dur­ing that time I will also have lit­tle email access, so any com­ments that need approval, emails or sub­mis­sions will likely need to wait until August.

And lastly, I men­tioned last week that I will be start­ing a new series on the blog which fea­tures dis­cus­sion top­ics that will be opened up to you. It’s some­thing I’ve been mean­ing to do for awhile, and now seems like the right time. I had intended on get­ting the post up last week, but unfor­tu­nately that didn’t hap­pen, so the first post in that series will go up first thing tomor­row morn­ing. And depend­ing on the inter­est, we will either repeat the series biweekly or monthly. So look out for that tomor­row, and now let’s get to the links!
