			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love creative business cards. The past few years of traveling to <a href="http://www.sxsw.com">SXSW</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jphill77/421570457/in/set-72157594581219328/">collecting business cards</a> has been one thing that I looked forward to. I&#8217;m surprised that there haven&#8217;t been more websites dedicated to showcasing great business cards&#8230;. mostly just blog posts.</p>
<p>In comes <a href="http://businesscards24.com">Unique Business Cards</a>. I spent a good deal of time going through the collection, and there is no shortage of creative inspiration to draw from. So, I wanted to share the resource I found, and hope that it will be useful and/or inspiring to others.</p>
<p>Here are a few of my favorites:</p>
<div id="attachment_223" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/cool-business-card-graphic-design-ninja.jpg"><img src="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/cool-business-card-graphic-design-ninja-300x225.jpg" alt="Graphic Design Ninja" title="cool-business-card-graphic-design-ninja" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Graphic Design Ninja</p></div>

<div id="attachment_226" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/cool-unique-business-card-queen-of-diamonds.jpg"><img src="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/cool-unique-business-card-queen-of-diamonds-300x238.jpg" alt="Queen of Diamonds Makeup Artist" title="cool-unique-business-card-queen-of-diamonds" width="300" height="238" class="size-medium wp-image-226" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Queen of Diamonds Makeup Artist</p></div>
<div id="attachment_227" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/creative-business-card-box-office.jpg"><img src="http://www.jwphill3.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/creative-business-card-box-office-300x172.jpg" alt="Box Office" title="creative-business-card-box-office" width="300" height="172" class="size-medium wp-image-227" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Box Office</p></div>

<p>There&#8217;s much more to see, but don&#8217;t take my word for it. <a href="http://businesscards24.com/">Go look</a> for yourself. What other places do you find business card design inspiration?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a designer, we all know that our surroundings affect our creativity quite a bit. The smallest things can stimulate creativity, whether that be a poster on the wall, the texture of a piece of paper, or the design of a piece of furniture. All of these things matter when creating your own workspace.</p>
<p>I recently came across <a href="http://aintnodisco.com/">This Ain&#8217;t No Disco</a>, which is a very inspiring website. It showcases the workplaces of agencies around the globe. There are some extremely creative workplaces, and I think that has a large influence on the work that some of the agencies put out. A few of my favorites are <a href="http://www.aintnodisco.com/2007/08/02/mpm/">MPM</a>, <a href="http://www.aintnodisco.com/2007/06/20/grin-creative/">Grin Creative</a>, <a href="http://www.aintnodisco.com/2007/06/16/karmarama/">Karmarama</a>, and <a href="http://www.aintnodisco.com/2007/06/03/clearleft-ltd/">Clearleft</a>.</p>
<p>When thinking about my own designed workplace in the future, two things are of importance to me. One is the actual desk that I&#8217;m working at. This needs to be a very comfortable workspace for me. Second would have to be a lounge area. Sometimes my thought process runs dry sitting at a desk, and a creative lounge area has proven to do the trick quite a bit.</p>
<p>How important do you think creative workspaces? And, what do you think is essential in <em>your</em> own workspace?</p>
