Make a moodboard

mydeco (http://mydeco.com/) have launched a tool that enables you to quickly create a good looking 'virtual' moodboard for free. It's fun and actually pretty cool - I lost a good hour or so creating a few moodboard masterpieces. My favourite so far is this cheery design for a kitchen. You can upload your own photos, or add an image from anywhere on the web as well as their database of products from hundreds of home furnishings retailers.

Perfect prints

I am a sucker for cute, original prints so I'm very excited to have discovered the excellent 'print & pattern' blog. They showcase great, unusual prints (on greeting cards, posters etc) by lots of different graphic artists - definitely one to watch. I love this owl print card by 'tc designs', a print and illustration company based in Manchester.

Orange you lucky patterns

Just stumbled across Helen Dardik's blog with her amazing design patterns - how cool is this scandinavian-meets-russian-folk design?
