[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]My purpose setting up this inpiration thread has been to help anyone to realise Design has a much greater context than focusing on Flash-oriented work from typical studios or agencies. It’s about conceptualising and from ideas, we can create design with social and political meaning. The extensive list below shows none of them are from one designer, but a community of work across different streams of media and fields. This includes Music, Fashion, Art, Film, Product, Architecture, Photography, Graphic/Print, Techology and more. It’s about being inspired (not to copy!) so to strengthen your work and the community above all.
"Design is about thinking, drawing and computers later."
