| Currently in the process of designing a new Kapow Logo |
Recently, I have upgraded my computer and software from an outdated Samsung Notebook with Photoshop CS2 and Windows Media Player to an Apple MacBook 13" with the full Adobe Creative Suite and more software than I can shake a rusty skate tool at. This in turn has led to me producing more designs straight on the MacBook and skipping the step which I used to love so much; creating and developing ideas in a sketchbook.

So on a recent excursion to Fred Aldous in the Northern Quarter, I made sure that I invested a couple of quid in a small A6 hardback sketchbook that I can carry around in my satchel and not be too worried about it getting destroyed. I have found myself whipping it out on the bus and jotting down design ideas that pass through my head and would previously be lost. Having the ability to put ideas down on paper rather than having to get the MacBook out is a blessing and I recommend any designers out there to invest in one too. In an age where technology is moving at a faster rate than we can keep up with, it is refreshing to be able to get back to the most ancient of methods of recording images.
Just a writing implement and a surface to be written on.
