TGIF: #followfriday & design finds

Published on July 31, 2009 in Design, Inspiration, Personal and Twitter; 2 Comments

As usual on friday, I present to you another post from the TGIF series! As always, the post will be about my Twitter #followfriday recommendations with descriptions and design/cool finds to start the weekend with. Anyway, let’s get to the point. Part one of this post will be…

#followfriday recommendations!

Rajesh is the owner of R27.CREATIVELAB and a very (and I mean it, very) friendly & helpful guy. It gone usual way – I started following him when I got involved big time in Twitter, he followed me back, we started chatting etc. He’s a very valued follow because he’s really into design & social media and he’s a mine of ideas. He’s a very valued follower because he’ll always help you promote your stuff to his 3.000+ followers if he likes it. Really cool guy, highly recommended.

Aaron Irizarry, the podcaster from This Is Aaron’s Life and a cool guy. A while ago, when TinyChat was not overrulled by spammers, I popped out of pure curiousity to the #designchat channel. There I met Aaron, who just happened to be online. He’s a very cool guy that really has a message to send out there, very friendly and helpful. Plus, he likes Converge.

Mark Collins, owner of MediaPower Lab design studio and community leader of Designers’Couch. I “met” him while applying for the Designers’Couch portfolio and he turned out to be one of the guys that you need to follow.

Gracjan, also known as Graziano is my “homeboy” from Poland and a very talented web & graphic designer. You can check his portfolio for some pretty awesome and inspiring stuff, aside from the awesome and inspiring stuff he puts on his Twitter.

That would be it with the #ff recommendations, now to the second part of the post – finds to kickstart the creative weekend with! Ready? Here we go!

Design finds

Designers’Couch and me

Also, this week I would like to drop a special line about Designers’Couch itself, since I’m really fascinated what guys managed to create so far. Designers’Couch is a (currently in private beta) design community site pretty much like Behance Network or DeviantArt, with a twist. To get an account, you need to be accepted by the community, which means that guys are more focused on the community part than other sites. Members are encouraged to be active thru ongoing contests (you can even win a new Macbook Pro 17″!), you can post your works, comment other works (the lower limit on the comment is 140 characters though, so you can’t just say “it sucks”, like it often happens on other services). If you’re into community side of design, apply to join or drop me a line in comments with any contact so I can send you an invitation myself.

That would be all for this Friday. Hope you liked the post and have a great weekend!
