Design Something Every Day – Day 10
Right, we have a problem. It’s day 10 and I am all out of ideas and inspiration and creativity. Today I have even resorted to outright theivery for the inspiration behind today’s bit of work. I started off this design session with no idea what to do, so headed off to Twitter to check out what people had been posting recently to #daily365. One of the posts pointed toward Alma Hoffman’s blog. Alma seems to be having a similar problem so made a simple clean image outlining the problem – check it out.
I thought that was a pretty good interpretation of how I was feeling today, so decided I would do something similar.
Except then I started having fun and decided that what I’d got might look ok as a desktop background. If you like the two images below there a number of links underneath to various desktop sized version for you to download.

John Robinson - designer, developer, coder... John’s not quite sure exactly how he should be labelled. Why not check out his blog and make a decision for yourself. He mostly talks about CSS, jQuery and the crazy world of the Interwebs, with a little bit of personal life thrown in for good measure.
When I don’t have ideas, I search a random article in wikipedia or in thematic albuns from Flicrk. Gambare! ^^
Wikipedia’s a good idea! I’m gonna have to spend some serious time brainstorming. I have a couple of ideas in mind already for next week, but nothing too concrete yet.
That’s actually pretty cool looking, nice minimalist approach. =D I like the white on black one especially.
Thanks very much! I started out with the black on white – a white canvas for an empty mind just made sense, but black backgrounds look really nice for the desktop.
