YCN

YCN serves as a platform from which interested parties can discover new work, share content, self-promote, find and list events, buy creative products and discover new opportunities. No, it’s not our sister site, although it could be. These guys have been around since 2001… but we just found them! Is the design world that big?

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, written by brothers Chip and Dan Heath, teaches you simple processes that help you create stronger ideas and will boost your creativity overall. You’ll also learn how to concept ideas that people remember and want to support, something most designers want, but often struggle with.
