Our Inspiration

Found these brilliant minamilist ads for Colsubsidios Book Exhchange - where you can bring in one book and leave with another. The ads cleverly combine two storys together in one simplistic image - in this instance Harry Potter and Troy. See more

I do enjoy a good design 'before & after', and I think this example is a great transformation. Shows what can be achieved with simplicity and minamilsim. Read more here

American Architect David Jameson has completed a two-story house in Bethesda, Maryland, with white walls tha look like pixellated blocks. It's pretty damn cool! View more pics on Dezeen

Love the packaging design for this range of wines. Simple, relevant, full of character and communicate eaxctly what they intend to. See more

Love these minimalist Disney film posters, especially this one for Bambi.

Found countless inspiration in Cuba last month. The buildings, the cars, the people, the street art. It's a truly unique place and one of the coolest cities i've visited. Instagram @dukeluke

I'm not his biggest fan but I found the recent programme on his exhibition interesting. Like him, I am a fellow lover of colour and I love the look and simplicity of his colour dots.

Have felt really focused since returning from the Selected C Graphic Design conference. It put me back in touch with what I love about design and has given me a push to strive for greater simplicity and style in my work, as well as to keep being creative 24/7. 

The design conference we recently attended was at the Alhóndiga Cutural Centre in Bilbao. Phillip Starck designed the whole interior. It's a really slick looking huge creative space and just loved the simplicity of the signage. You can find out more about the building here.

A couple of ASP Design team recently attended 'Selected C' a graphic design conference in Bilbao. It was really inspiring and came back with loads of ideas. Bilbao is a beautiful place with some amazing architecture including this building designed by Frank Gehry. Inside and out it has to be the coolest building i've seen! 

Jon: How's your new PC Pete??

Pete: It's not a PC Jon, it's so much more than that!

This to me turns everything on its head and forces us to readdress how we view things. For me it succinctly captures so much in its extreme contrasts. Photo by Samuel Aranda. View all the photos

Love this cafe in Pimlico. Fantastic classically, cool design. So great it has featured in films such as 'Layer Cake' and 'Brighton Rock'.

Really liking the style of Stan Chow's illustrations at the moment, such as this featuring - who else - Thierry Henry. See more here

Found this amazing touchscreen printer concept. Watch the video of it in use here

Heart almost jumped out of my mouth when they 'swipe' to print (yes, I am a design geek)!

Ok so this isn't for everyone, (even in our office), but i'm loving this compilation of the great US psychedelic rock bands of the moment. Described as ' Freaky, groovy, and spaced out, this music is cage free, badass rock'n'roll!' Check it out at www.bangbangboogaloo.com

Great guide book on creating iconic brand identities by David Airey. He also has a cool website showcasing the latest and greatest brands... http://www.logodesignlove.com/

This week I have been mostly listening to the latest offering from The Black Keys. Great mix of vintage blues & soul. If you haven't got it, get it! www.theblackkeys.com

Was inspired to photograph the sunrise from the window at my flat in Balham this morning, using instagram (ASP Design's latest obsession!). Follow me @petesnell or check out @dukelukes morning inspiration photos

The old London bus and tube signage was the biggest influence for the ASP Design rebrand. It's such an iconic font designed by and named after Edward Johnston and to me represents London.

Surfing keeps me inspired by always looking for new lines, or ways to interact with the sea. This is one of my close friends on a recent return from a season in Portugal.

I'm constantly finding inspiration through the lens of my iphone. It's great to be able to have a camera on you at all times. Follow me on Instagram @dukeluke

This pie & mash shop in Bethnal Green inspired the ASP Design rebrand. Love the it's simplistic shop front that hasn't changed for 70 years and still looks great! Get your jellied eels!!  http://www.gkellypieandmash.co.uk/

Surrealist fiction, visual style of writing

Purity of emotion/simplicity in line = beauty

Heart-warming lyrics/go on a journey.

Pete just moved into a new flat...keeping it simple/white/wood/consistent

We went as a team to the Design Museum at London Bridge to get some fresh inspiration.

Love this mod scooter found at the Vintage Festival.

Love the 60's psychedelia on this cover. So simple but really impactful.

A snapshot from the great architecture in Marrakech.

When not designing Luke will be playing this beauty!

There's loads of inspiration just walking around Brick Lane.

We love our 1970s office.

I popped to Marrakech for the weekend in November and couldn't put my camera down. Amazing architecture!
