Ideas and inspiration can come from anywhere.
“The mind is like an umbrella. It’s most useful when open.”
Walter Gropius, Founder of the Bauhaus
The November Jotter
Sorry to interrupt you but... ideas and inspiration on interrupting, Coventry Cathedral, Robbie Lawrence's A Voice Above the Linn, Craig Mod's Kissa by Kissa and how dogs make our lives better.
The October Jotter
Inspiration is everywhere... ideas from Paul Smith, Craig Mod walks in Japan, an elegy to Chris Killip and how Finisterre warms the cockles of my heart.
The August Jotter
Rob Poynton on why he walks, Jason Fried on why you should ditch the elevator pitch, Nick Hayes' The Book of Trespass, designing Coventry City of Culture and Bristol publishers RRB Photobooks.
Inspiration.4 - the daily photobook
This list began as we hibernated during the first Coronavirus lockdown in March 2020. It is a selection of my favourite photobooks, each taken down from the shelf that day. They may have been chosen because of my mood, my preferences, the news, or the weather.
Inspiration.1 - my childhood home
Although I didn’t understand it as a child, the more I look back the more I can see why dad designed our home the way he did and the more I can see how it has influenced my approach to web design.
