Monday, does anybody need a great dose of inspiration?
As most of you, if not all of you, here at Wood’d we love a good reading, very often. We are constantly connected to the thumping heart of the net, as you all do. The “internets” give us uninterrupted material, every day all day. That’s why we thought about creating Wood’d Digest, a list of fresh links, with regular updates, bringing those that we believe to be the best articles and the most valid readings to share and comment together. Spread love, it’s the Wood’d way ✨
Graphic Design seems to have become the creative discipline these days. With the advent of digital media it overwhelms everything around us. From social networks to fashion design. We are big enthusiasts about it, and it’s maybe the bigger part of our daily resourch and inspiration. But what’s your position about it? Do you have favourite styles or designers? Just let us know, and in the meantime, enjoy the reading ??
