5 best practices for developing a direct mail strategy that will help reach your marketing goals
On the fence about adding direct mail into your marketing mix.
Sketchbook Series: 4 // Furniture
The creative process is always a journey. Over the years I’ve used multiple methods to gather my thoughts, whether it’s designing for a client presentation or my idea for the next great invention. Sometimes I’ll dive right in with digital ideation, literally pounding out ideas on the keyboard. Other times, I’ll sit down with a sketchbook and a pen. I like to let my mind wonder as I fill the the pages with sketches and concepts. I tend to start with goofy ideas to stimulate my brain. It’s a fun way to work and takes the pressure out of getting it right for the “real world.”
I was recently organizing my home office and came across my sketchbook archive. It got me to look back and reflect on past ideas and explorations — some that came to fruition, and others that didn’t (usually for good reason). Over the next few posts, I will share some of these themes.
- 1 // Covers
- 2 // Logos
- 3 // Design
- 4 // Furniture
- 5 // Invention
- 6 // Human
- 7 // Humor
Please note, these drawings are unedited, somewhat raw, and certainly less than perfect. Also, forgive poor spelling and grammatical errors — I prefer speed over accuracy.
Below are some of my favorite furniture drawings. Some of my drawings are designed to solve a problem, like the sketch of a drafting table that could fold away easily for smaller work spaces. But, for the most part, these are fictional designs that I drew for fun and to put a smile on someone’s face. Like the chair I designed for people whose knees bent up instead of back — don’t expect to find that one for sale on Wayfair anytime soon. Enjoy.
