Design Influences

As design professionals we have learned that precedence is critical for establishing ideas as ideas are constantly evolving.  We remember the difficulty of researching ideas and concepts for particular projects.  And in the process, spent many hours exploring resources  as design students.  In many cases, your research is limited.  

For this reason, we wanted to create a system to help gather information quicker and easier.  Below are some areas we selected that may be helpful.  We are in the process of adding more information to our library, so please be patient!  Thank you.
