I'm no designer, but what the hey: Beethoven's 6th Symphony in F, sunsets, the Malvern Hills, the Victoria & Albert Museum, George Orwell, John Milton and anything with well played guitar (especially Richard Thompson playing Vincent Black Lightning on youtube).

You know those numbered queue tickets you get at the deli counter sometimes? Well one of those did it for me last week.

Personally, I thought that the cheese one was hilarious! Davidthedesigner, however won me over with the response "A looming deadline." I think all of us in Advanced Mag. Design can relate to this posting!!! haha
