How often do we start a project – or get an idea we salt away for later – by picking up a pen and doodling? There are three main phases to a web design project to get the design from just speech between designer and client to seeing out the door and working. Here’s a brief run through of a generic design project, simply for posterity’s sake.
ThisIsInspired sits down and chats every once in a while with artists and designers — finding out how they got started and what gets them inspired. Each of our interviews gives you the designer’s perspective and a cool angle on their work – and on creativity in general.
Quick post: I found this the other day and thought it was worth sharing (spread the love!). It’s a cool video using stop-motion origami to tell the story of the Asics shoe company. Who knew something as simple as paper folding could be so epic?
The world of design blogs is amok with numbered, unordered lists of items relevant to a given topic – “15 Ways to Improve as a Designer” or “27 Firefox Plugins You Need to Have Installed.” Posts like this are, frankly, a dime a dozen and all too common if you travel in the design-related blogosphere.

While I admit up front I’m not big fan of Batman (though he is quite a bit cooler than Spiderman), I love seeing a common theme drawn/painted/illustrated by a lot of different people – each artist has a different perspective and their own take on what Batman should be.
