Quote of the week

“Coming up with a great idea in response to a brief is kind of magical. And I love the fact that ideas can come from absolutely anywhere and hit at any time. The rest of the design process you can kind of control, but that initial ideas stage is a wild untameable thing.” We ask designers, including Supple Studio’s Jamie Ellul, what the most enjoyable thing about their job is.

Our favourite website

We’re enjoying the new Design Museum website and particularly admire its five-subject navigation page.
