I am a graphic communicator with a healthy obsession with creative/ studio spaces.
Here are some of the spaces that I think look really nice and stylish, and some that just interest me!

Cluttered Desk, Cluttered Mind?
"If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign"? -Albert Einstein
What do you think then? Research at your fingertips or un organised mess?
Please leave a comment as this is my research for Self Set Project
i think a cluttered desk does generally equal a cluttered mind. when i have a tidy up, i always feel so much better and my head feels clearer. (but surely 'organised clutter' is an oxymoron? if your clutter is organised, it ain't clutter!)
I feel an empty desk provides no room for inspiration. Surrounding yourself with good design in an organised mannor gives the oppurtunity to spark new ideas and creativity, a motivational mess.
People have different ways of organizing things, I think its down to personal preference whether you consider something to be cluttered or an organized mess. The thought of an empty desk however gives the impression you are working without any research/inspiration - entering a project empty handed. If your desk is full of things you love and find inspiring then generally speaking you will feel more excited & motivated for the project you are working on.
love that quote! as long as its organised clutter then it's all good!

Your desk is a blank canvas.
ReplyDeleteKeep it that way.
Totally agree with Neen, as long as it's a reasonable organised chaos/mess/clutter it's fine and works. =)
