Hello my friends! 

I want to share with you some of the projects I did in the past 6 months! This one below is the brand design and visual identity for Sleepstation.
Sleepstation is a highly personalised and interactive online therapy course, approved by the NHS and proven to be an effective treatment for people fighting insomnia. Check the site and learn more: www.sleepstation.org (the website happen to be designed by me too, in team with Born Digital) :)

I’ll be sharing more things next week!
Have a lovely weekend!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH CREATIVE BLOCKS.

I’ve been recently trying to get myself off the computer as an exercise to overcome “creative blocks” a creative block for those who have never heard about it, is a period of time in which your brain is useless and you can’t create ANYTHING, and to make it worst it always happens when you’ve got a fair amount of work to deliver… so you enter in a time bomb, in which you pass from a blocked to anxiousness, frustration and a lot of stress which makes things worst inside your mind to finally end up tired and collapsed. 

So I think I found a way to overcome this, and I wanted to share it with you, every time I experience a block like this, I jump off the computer and work on a side project, no matter how long is the list of “duties” I have waiting for me, I focus my mind on creating things just for the pleasure of creating, with no pressure at all. So basically keep a side project fresh, something that you really want to do but you never have time to do it because you have too much work, and kids or dog… and blah blah blah… those “I don’t have time-projects"are the ones that give you a big boost to carry on with your everyday-projects. 

During my last creative block I started with this small challenge of #30daysofhandwriting, I always wanted to improve my #handwriting so I decided to finally do it during this period. And it really worked, and here are some pictures of the results!

I would love to know if you have experienced a creative block! Leave me a comment with yours!

8 Steps to change your design-thinking

I found myself so identified with this small “manifesto” from iA Design Agency based in Tokyo. On one hand it could be applied to any industry, and on the other, I like to think that when talking about design field, people are starting to open more an more their minds towards the subject, and understand how to implement and consider design in their business and lives, as an investment to positive change, solve specific problems and help achieve their goals. 

“You have probably noticed, that we are living in a time where the quality to listen and switch perspective is a core value in personal and professional ethics, a time where titles, diplomas and other stamped recognition have become practically irrelevant.

1. It doesn’t matter if you’re right, where it’s more important that you’re understandable.
2 Authority goes back to provable know-how, relevant experience and the ability to communicate both.
3. Teachers learn from pupils, vendors from clients and learning is fun.
4. Respect is necessarily mutual (just like the word suggests).
5. Good manners and openness synergize.
6. Humor is stronger than fear.
7. All communication should be mutual and enjoyable for the vendor as well as for the client.
8. The best marketing is a good product.”
