AGIdeas

Just recently went to the international design forum held in Melbourne city. AGIdeas has a bucket-load of content to overflow the mind of any creative. For sure, i was influenced and amazed at some of the creative output from some of the worlds masters. One of the biggest motivational speakers was Stefan Sagmeister, who was super chilled and inspirational. He spoke first to kick stark the forum. It was an incredible three days, actually. Tickets sold out and I saw the smile creep up on Ken's [Cato] face when he announced that fact. 

I was pumping the creative heart, constantly drawing and writing down some pretty ambitious ideas. I was impressed with %90 of the speakers. I also payed most attention to a Melbourne based illustrator, Ken Taylor, who does some shit-hot work; and was fond of the speakers from Soap and Igloo. Talk about motivation. 

The event however got tiresome, sitting in a warm room for eight hours a day, I was destined to snooze through some of the more boring speeches. This also doesn't excuse the fact that I may've been drinking the night before. But, hey, it was worth it.  

Overall, it was a super boost for the creative bone, and I personally recommend it to anyone who's a creative. [Just] Do it!
