Little Box Of Ideas

  A few months ago I was introduced to a novel way of social bookmarking. A very visual and inspiring way of keeping track of things you would want to go back to for ideas and inspiration. It was an invite-only network and it was called Pinterest. I was instantly hooked. Very much like the

Is it too late to share some interesting finds for Valentine’s Day? I think not. I love seeing what is out there for special occasions, especially gifts that cater to the inner geek. Admit it, there is a little bit of geekiness in you! It is, in me.  How else does one explain getting excited

  It is the day and age of online readers, electronic books, pdf compendiums and Kindles. At the book store, I might buy a book on an impulse, but 9 out of 10 times, I come back home, get onto the internet and hunt for a bargain on various online bookstores. Such is the lure

  Last year when I did What Designers Really Want For Christmas in 2009?, a lot of nice folks from the design community pitched in with their wishlists. This year, everyone seemed to be busier. Hence I have fewer people sharing their wishlists and rare stuff that has caught their fancy. I find that picking

Just over two days ago, I offered to giveaway a Dribbble invite on the blog and was overwhelmed by 51 fantastic entries. It was hard! I never realized how hard it would be.As I started browsing the links you guys left in the comments, I wished I had more than one dribbble invite, I wished

  I was drafted on Dribbble by the lovely Emma Taylor of Twiggle Graphics almost 7 months ago. After a slight start, I really got into the game (no pun intended) and started enjoying the many benefits of dribbble which is a healthy community of designers and developers who work hard, who work fast and

I started Christmas shopping very early in 2010. I have been browsing shops, online stores and catalogs since August. I have bookmarked, scheduled and bought a wide variety of quirky and awesome products for some very lucky people. I also own quite a few things that are on the list I have compiled, so you

  Like a lot of you, I saw "Wizemark" on all the logo haunts that logo designers have on the interwebs in early 2009. And that is how I knew him. Then he did something extraordinary in early 2010 that changed my life. He started the 365 Logo Project. He along with Melanie Matthews, who

  Whenever I have started an online personal project, after the initial research on the viability of my idea, I have always begun with the logo. We all know that a planned, well informed and structured approach to starting a business begins with a unique identity that sets you apart in this brand conscious society

There are some amazing new font foundries on the design scene who are doing some brilliant work and making it available to designers and developers everywhere for next to nothing. The release of a new font or font family sees the release of a free weight, a trending practice that garners no complaints from anyone.

Today, I am starting a new series on the blog where I will put up a question that has been burning a hole in the back of my mind for a while and open up a discussion to whoever wants to share their thoughts and opinions. There is a great wealth of knowledge to be

I must admit, I have an unholy obsession with moleskines. Any blank, inviting piece of stationery that draws you to write, sketch and create and one that is absolutely beautiful to look at in its humble simplicity, ought to be obsessed about. I have a few moleskines, not many, just a few. They seem to

In my recent jaunts on the interwebs, I have come across some great vector freebies. I have handpicked a few that are free for personal and commercial use (with some requiring mere credits). In this little roundup today, I am listing 50+ awesome free vector illustrator patterns, seamless and otherwise. These are perfect for the

Everyday when I create new vector graphics, whether they are characters or just simple elements for a poster or website, I always find that there is a real scarcity of vector "scenes". You know the free stuff like brushes and icons that you can download and put together to present your design? I rarely come
