Show your design space - and poke your nose into others...

I'm rather nosey when it comes to other people's work spaces, especially if they are designers. As someone who has literally worked in spaces ranging from a small cupboard to sleek and spacious creative studios, I have seen how my surroundings affect my own creativity so I wonder how other designers are affected by their working surroundings?

Well, now we can all poke our noses into studios the world over thanks to Where We Design, a really nice idea for a website which shows studio spaces from creatives across the globe.

FOUND

www.FFFFOUND.com is a fabulous imagebookmarking site that's consistently inspirational.

Invitations to participate and post images are rare, which keeps the quality of the images high.

Still on the 'found' theme, for all the voyeurs out there, www.foundmagazine.com collects found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles - you get the idea - basically anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Interesting stuff, and again, a good source of inspiration for creative thinkers.
