Unfortunately I don’t give design enough of my attention. I work a full time job that has absolutely nothing to with design and I work a weekend job that allows me to be outgoing, loud and play with little tykes. But when I’m not doing design, I play video games, watch movies/TV series (I love movie/TV marathons!), play with my foster pets and hang out with friends.

I just discovered this place, is a drawing workshop (once a week)
http://www.thedrawingclub.com/home.asp

I really like drawing, and painting, but I couldn’t really pick that as a career
that’s why i went for graphic design and arts
Sometimes I think I spend too much time on the computer and I forgot how much fun is to be involve in this kind of things!

When I’m not doing my freelance work (which is sometimes until the early hours of the morning) I like to have a hit of tennis with mates. Also every Saturday I usually go out and have a few drinks and not think about work at all.

in this economy – it is seemingly harder to have ANY life outside any paying job!

i like to take short trips to break away from the madness!

Does painting count as being away from design? I’d like to start doing more of that. In high school, my life revolved around painting, but when I got into college, it became more virtual. Now that I’m out of college and about to start doing full-time design work in an office, I want to get back to doing more “me” things at home. That includes painting, playing with the puppies, and just getting out more on the town. Once this heat cools down, I’d also love to go camping more. I love to hike and I definitely don’t get to do that enough.

Well, I’m an amateur photographer, so when I’m not designing I try to find some time to shoot some photos, cause sometimes it’s the most relaxing thing I can do.

I often find that the other things we do aside from designing are truly our inspiration for design. I enjoy running when the weather is warm because the days can be so beautiful, plus it gives me a lot of time to think creatively and come up with new ideas. I also enjoy silly things like board games and nintendo wii.

Hey, I run aswell sometimes.. it is very good for clearing your head and stuff..

Also, I go out (like clubbing) maybe two or three times a week, which is really good for inspiration actually..

also, loads of wandering around.. if I ever have a few hours, I’ll just like lazily wander around the city or beach or something, and it’s again, really good for inspiration, and clearing your head..

other than that, maybe a few trips to the gym now and then, love music and play traditional Irish music.
