Logopond
I've been looking online for inspiration for my cake logo brief. Not just at existing cake logos but logos in general that I like and feel really work. One of the best websites I've found for this so far is Logopond. These are some of the ones that i have found and really like...

Morning Breath
WHAT I'M LOOKING AT:
These guys are judging the don't panic poster entries for the November 09 pack. Together they are Morning Breath.
Morning Breath is Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto. The two worked together on skateboard designs at Think Skateboards in San Francisco. Their collaborations have grown beyond skateboard graphics to include music packaging, apparel, poster design and more. Doug and Jason split their creative energies and time between commercial and personal work. They have had much of their work published worlwide in many design magazines and books, most recently Dirty Fingernails (Rockport Publishers, 2009)

I love their prints. I'm particularly interested in the way that their type works with their illustrations. Their style is the style that i am completely into at the moment. Very bold and vector based. I just don't seem to be tiring of it. I like the way that they play with overlaying colour in their prints and how it works with their choice of colour. Great style. Great influence.

Cool Magazine
WHAT I'M LOOKING AT:
ICN magazine had a great article in about self promotion and some fantastic pictures brimming with inspiration. I got very excited and realised how much more I could improve my business cards and self promotion. They just proved you could be as creative as you like and don't need to follow the boring conventions of a standard business card if you don't want to. I was struggling to represent me, my character, my personality, my skills and style through my designs but these just showed me there are no limits. You really can be as creative as you like. Colour and image and type and boldness, all to be remembered and make an impact. I will definitely be reassessing my designs!

Urban Outfitters
WHAT I'M LOOKING AT:
I have been looking into the t-shirt range for different competitors on the high street and specialist t-shirt companies. these screen grabs have been taken from the Urban Outfitters website. I think they show a great range and are great inspiration for me to look at. I can clearly see how well designs work with different coloured t-shirt stocks and where they place the designs on the t-shirts. It's also interesting to see where the designs fall on a person when the shirt is being worn, rather than just lying the t-shirt flat on a table. Looking at this really helps when I consider these factors for my designs.
