Oliver Lindberg from .net, one of our favourite magazines about web design, got in touch recently to ask smashLAB to write an article for the upcoming issue. We were thrilled by the offer and thought it would be a great opportunity to investigate creative blockbusting. 

 

Beat the Creative Block, the cover story for the September 2008 issue, is about unleashing your imagination and generating new ideas. It covers methods of working, how structure can bring focus to your process, ways in which we solve creative problems, and how to incubate ideas. Expert advice from the likes of Zander Brimijoin of Big Spaceship, Scott Belsky of Behance, and Michael Bierut of Pentagram is peppered throughout. We also share some of our favourite sources of inspiration in print and online.

 

The issue of .net (known as "Practical Web Design" outside of the UK) hits North American newsstands in October. Pick it up, learn some secrets, and get inspired! Or, read it here.
