My best ideas come when I'm stuck on real work and my mind starts wandering into sticker world
A sticker that claims to be certified free from AI but probably isn't

A photo of Cantlop Bridge on a leafy summer day, a grade II listed bridge in Shropshire. It's a cast iron bridge covered with gravel, now only used for pedestrians. The iron work above the bridge is painted white. It crosses a shallow river where the stones on the river bed are visible

Deployed the hoodie for -6c
A red spaniel in a red hoodie. He is sat on a muddy field with fallen leaves around him. It is very cold so the mud and leaves are frozen and dusted with frost. The spaniel is looking stern, but he's not a stern dog

Rewatched Severance this week to prepare for season two, it's even better the second time round. The aesthetics as well, they could have gone in a completely different direction but the late 80's early 90s, corporate sterility *chefs kiss*

Just googling for a logo and I realise how much better the old Microsoft logo is
The old logo. Italicised bold sans-serif type, in black on a white background, with a custom cut out forming interesting negative space between the 'o' and 's' characters The current logo. Mid-weight sans-serif type, in grey on a white background, to the left is a square, divided into four sections with four colours, in clockwise order red, green, yellow, blue

Hey new followers. Martin here, I'm a designer, my background is product & interaction design, but spent the last 3 years in service design and loved it. I've recently gone freelance and enjoying the change (and challenge).

I like noisy music and sci-fi, I have a spaniel, two daughters, & a van
Selfie of Martin in a mirror, from the waist up in a scene lit with strong red light, so you can't make out the colours, he is trying to look interesting, he has short brown hair, a sort-of beard and glasses. He is wearing a check shirt

Distracted boyfriend meme. A man, labelled 'my blog' is looking over his shoulder at a girl who is labelled 'just more weeknotes', his girlfriend, who he is holding hands with looks angry. She is labelled 'well researched, high effort thought pieces'
