inspiration e-zine: issue four.



Good morning, Design for Mankind!!! I'm thrilled to present yet another dose of Inspiration-- now in its FOURTH issue! In case you've missed Issues 1-3, find them right here, available for a free PDF download.

If you're new to the site, Inspiration is a FREE montly e-zine dedicated to inspiration in its various forms. This month's issue is entitled "Inspiration in the Unexpected," and pays homage to the idea that inspiration is everywhere--- you need only open your eyes.

Again, special thanks to all contributors--- you guys totally blew me away. And a BIG thank you to Dasha, who created this issue's cover image!

Lastly, thank YOU, readers. For inspiring me daily.

Love to you all.

wow Erin, these are some of the most beautiful photographs I've seen in a long time. The one by the 14 year old is so painterly. And the confetti in that sepia field is inspiring. Beautifully curated, laid out and written. Erin you are a gem.

Those pictures truly represent what inspiration means! I so very love the confetti-photo... And it's true, inspiration can be found everywhere... but it surely helps that these photographers have such a great eye for capturing that inspiration in everyday life on a photo!

Cindy said...

i'm not going to get much done today after looking at all the portfolios for the artists! so wonderful.

i love the confetti photo and would love to do that right now. sunny day in march by chaira balza reminds me of my mom hanging out the wash in our backyard, so i love that one, too.

the e-zine looks awesome in issuu, but i'll still download and save each one.

/// said...

Aww, I'm so glad you'll be saving them, Cindy! :) You're too sweet.

I love the end of the month...not for the promise of new horizons, nor for the joy of ticking one month closer to summer....but for your e-zine!

I *love* this issue especially! The photographers you featured were stunning - especially the dashing vintage photo taking by the 14 year old! WOW! I really liked the laundry line, as well as the Cinderella in London...okay, I loved them all!

Thanks so much for putting your heart into this and inspiring us!!

The e-zine looks great! Love the idea of capturing the little things that inspire. I think my favorite photo is the recreation of a nightmare. I thought it was a little creepy/funny too. This might be a new form of therapy :)

Loved it!

Unknown said...

Oh Erin: It's sooooo good. I just love it all! I can't wait to indulge in every little nook and cranny tonight.

Great job. ~suzanne

Krissy | Paper Schmaper said...

This is my favorite e-zine yet! It was such eye candy and I could wait for the next page. My favorites are pages 8, 14, and 15. The nightmare one is SO fantastic.

They are just gorgeous. Looks great on issuu. So admire this project.

because beauty lies in the details of design. in the pencil shavings, in the blueberry waffles. the vintage dress, framed portrait, old postcard.

design is inevitable. celebrated. design for mankind.
