DOX: A museum with a strong corporate identity
DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is not like many other museums. Located in the charming neighborhood of Prague-Holesovice and housed in a redesigned former factory, it is definitely the place to go for design lovers. The price of the entrance is 180 CZK (25 euros) and it allows you to access to the exhibition area, the cafe, the bookstore, and the design shop.
Even though probably his most catchy characteristic is the Gulliver Airship, a zeppelin that lays on its roof (and that is used as a venue for concerts and other events), what really got my attention was its corporate identity.

The place to get inspired: Forward Festival
Last October I was lucky to attend the Forward Festival in Hamburg: 2 days, 2 stages and a lot of workshops and happenings, all focused on Design.
Created 5 years ago in Vienna, it is a place where the creative community can inspire and learn from each other. The core ambition of the festival, as they state on their website, is to bring each other’s ideas, projects, and goals forward. I felt this was totally true, as I came back with a lot of ideas and drawings in my notebook, and a bunch of new interesting profiles to follow in Social Media.
I am not gonna extend this blog post through all the talks I attended, but instead, I am just gonna focus on 5 ideas that stuck to my head.

Beginners Guide to Interior and Product Photography
As most of you already know, apart from a designer, I am also a photographer. Photography has a lot of categories and fields. Which means that even if you already know the basics of photography, you may get a bit lost when it comes to photographing a product or an interior.
Also, I think that being able to set up and take a nice photography, for example, to create a mock-up, is very interesting also for designers. And that is why I decided to share with you this quick and basic guide to interior and product photography by Brittany Goldwyn.

While the easy and correct answer to this question is a categorical “NO”, I have to confess that in my case, working for free was the takeoff of my career.
Interior Design as Inspiration for Graphic & Web Design
As any designer knows, the different fields of design influence each other easily. From fashion to editorial design, trends like Pantone’s Top Colors for each season are transversally applied in many elements.
But, when it comes to look for inspiration, I like to have a look at the latest trends in interior design.
