Just wanted to raise this post I was reading this morning on Graphic Design Blog. It reminds us that when designing stuff, the initial stages when you are developing your ideas should be done the old fashioned way. Pen and paper. Its been along time since I actually did pick up a pen and paper, I tend to go straight into Illustrator if its a logo I’m designing.

Having read this article, on my next project I will pencil some ideas down first and see if it takes me down a different route.
