If you are anything like me you need the right environment in order to work effectively. Whether it is good lighting, quick access to resources, or a coffee in hand we all have an ideal work environment that helps our productivity.
I am fortunate to finally have my dream work space. With a new desk and matching filing cabinet, my LED Cinema Display, the Magic Mouse, my ColorMunki, and a good set of design books for reference I couldn’t be more happy with how my home office turned out.
It also got me thinking: What are the three items I almost always have while designing? It wasn’t a hard question to answer. My three would be a good variety of music playing, a cup of coffee, and my pen and sketchpad. What do you all like to have while you work?

Hey J(air),
What a fantastic spot to work, it looks very relaxing and comfortable. Congrats on the new workspace and computer, I bought the exact same one for myself, I really just wanted a “nest” of creativity at home where I could escape and design.
A MUST for me, and I’m sure for most designers, is good music! Lately I’ve been listening to Jude and Jeff Buckley. Such deep emotion in their music.
Hope you had an inspired break from school…just a means to an end right!? Wish you much success in your designing endeavors! See you on campus.

Scott,
It is great to be able to sit back and feel relaxed while designing. Sounds like you have a great home setup too. Jude and Jeff Buckley…I will have to check them out. Always nice to discover new music from friends.
I hope you quarter is going well. We are so close to being done!
