I’m a little busy today so I thought this would be a bit of fun. Feel free to join in, and if you do.. do share!
It’s simple. Just take a picture of where you work, and explain what’s in the picture that makes it work for you.
I’m going to adapt this to be a full fledged post on the fusedrealitystudios blog in a few days, but I’d like to see how you work too!
So, here’s out first view of my desk. Unfortunately, it’s very rarely you’d see this in such a clean state. Often it’s piled by papers, cds (often important ones facing the wrong way) and utensils from various meals.
I’ve got all of the important things to hand. On the left, my espresso machine is always ready to dose me in caffeine, while my iPhone on the right is docked and ready to accept calls. The screens however, are the life… and death of my work. As you can see here, I was supposed to be working, but instead you can see not only twitter open, but also BBC iPlayer with a little but of QI.
The desk cover is actually 4 very large mouse mats. It was the cheapest option that didn’t cause me to have to run all the way to Ikea, and so far have worked out great. On it are my Wacom tablet (rarely used but helpful in the start of the design process, drawing, and often just fiddling about), my Apple aluminum keyboard and gaming mice.
This is my desk overhead, taken a few days later. As you can see, the mess is back… as well as a few other interesting items.
I’ve got remnants of coffee drunk long ago taking over the desk, and of which really should be refilled pretty soon. But nothing has really changed, except my desk is now riddled with notebooks. So, what’s in them?
From left to right:-
Moleskine #1–mainly used for sketching little doodles as well as a few web ideas that come to mind.
Moleskine #2–used as a rough web sketch journal as well as a place to put new ideas for websites. Right now, if you look closely, it’s showing all of the Wordpress templates I’m working on for fun for the next 6 months.
Moleskine #3–This holds this blogs secrets, as well as all the little improvements that are coming pretty soon. ![]()
The Rhino Journal–Bought in the economic downturn when I can’t afford moleskines, this contains most of the design and planning of fusedrealitystudios. It’s showing the website’s latest (and only) blog post to date, which I wrote before desiging it.
These moleskines hold most of my brain’s thoughts and ideas, so I’d be nowhere without them.
Feel free to post your own, I’m interested!
