Listening Habits of Highly Effective Web Designers
We here at Helikopter Design love music. Maybe more than web design.(Blasphemy!) It’s an essential part of the design process for us. Setting the right tone for inspiration, helping re-energize when attention is flagging, and making mind-numbingly-repetitive tasks much more tolerable. Our personal favorites include Animal Collective, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and FSOL. We decided to get in touch with some well known web designers like Jonathan Snook, Dave Shea, Richard Rutter, Andy Budd and Roger Johansson to find out what role music played in the creative process for them. Two main themes emerged for any of you budding young designers out there: 1.) Stop listening to music with any lyrical content and 2) start listening to Explosions in the Sky!
