I don’t know about you, but I would never be able to manage my team and everything I have going on without Basecamp. I have tried a number of team collaboration apps, but always come back to Basecamp. But this post isn’t a praise of Basecamp. This post is to showcase the iPhone apps that work seamlessly with Basecamp. There aren’t too many out there, but the ones that are out there are pretty sweet.

Creative Curio recently did a very interesting post on the use of environmental graphics. She talks about the pros and cons of them and why they can have a bold impact when done right. Great read. Check out the post here.
I just kind of haphazardly stumbled across the portfolio of Wesley Burt. After looking around his portfolio, I’m not sure if he is a general artist or concept artist. Either way, his portfolio is pretty cool. Check out his site, lots of cool stuff.

I recently did a post for Tutorial 9 that I thought you guys might appreciate. It is a round up of some creative childrens book illustrators. I find so much inspiration in childrens books. The amount of creativity that goes in to writing and illustrating them is just amazing. I probably have as many childrens books as I do business books. And I have a lot of business books!

An awesome logo designer friend of mine, Graham at Im Just Creative, has an almost unhealthy obsession with all things typography and Twitter. So, it was only a matter of time before he combined the two obsessions. The result of this merger can be found in his new series of Typography Twitter backgrounds.
Check out his post to get the backgrounds and learn more.
I am a firm believer that the issue of creating a better user experience by creating links that are more senseable is something that is vastly under utilized on the web. For the most part, the only exposure people have to this is when we see double underlined links in blogs that are actually affiliate links. While this is a good use of making links more user friendly, this is only a fraction of what could be done.
Apparently Designer Daily agrees with me on this one.

Aside from girls, one of my favorite things to look at is robots. Strange combination? Not really. Unless of course you put the two together, but that is neither here nor there. The graphic design blog Naldz Graphics recently did a post that showcased 40+ Beautiful Robot Characters Illustrations. I suggest checking it out. There’s some very cool ones in there.
This weeks inspiration comes to you in the form of some pretty creative fan art. The Simpsons have been on the air for over ten years. In that course of time it is only natural that they would have inspired some people. This post is some concrete proof of that statement.
Below are some really cool Simpsons fan art pictures from Deviant Art. If you are particularly found of any of the pictures in this post, please visit the artist Deviant Profile and leave them comments directly.
That said, you can tell us which one is your favorite!

Concept Share is a proofing app similar to Proof HQ. I have been using it since was released from beta and have become pretty fond of it. If you are unfamiliar with Concpet Share, let me see if I can sum it up in a few words. Concept allows you to share design proof/mockups with your company or with you client. It allows you to draw on the mockup, make comments to specific areas of the design, chat within the application about the mockup, and more.
