Most important thing, is a belt. I keep my belt on at all times, because my jeans fall down where I've got colour books, car keys, wallet, phone and a tape measures stashed in my pockets. Rumour has it, that the titanic was actually spotted escaping from those jeans.

Then other things on my list: copious amounts of coffee, food, a job sheet so that I can doodle some sketches and finally, a pencil sharpener.

Desk = Imac G5 and Packard Bell laptop, printer, scanner, phone, a few pens

''Little Messy Table'' = letraset pens, crayons, felts, scissors, clues, different types of paper, card, paints and any other 'crafty/messy/creative' stuff

Shelves = books, books, books, more books...oohh and 4yrs worth of Computer Arts, folder of bits and bobs of leaflets and stuff that I collect...erm erm...another shelf full of weird stuff...rubix cubes and anything colourful

Walls = Posters of anything weird and/or 'graphicy', and one whole wall dedicated to VW Campervans!!

Is anyone else's setup as weird as mine??!!

Maybe we could upload some photos too? ;)

Have added a pic of my workspace for my day-job.

Don't have a pic of my desk at home for freelancing yet - much messier, so I might not bother :p

Things i find which get me through the day are the obvious Mac, laptop pc, sketchpad, books for inspiration, pencils, pens, cup of tea, phone and USB stick. Also a very messy desk! but i don't think that helps!

Messy desk seems to be the norm with creative types. And I'm no exception.

My desk from left to right:

Deadline chart taped to the desk (with biro sribbles all over it)
Publications Pantone ref chart for the next 12 months taped to the desk (again covered in biro)
A pile of past issues and a media pack
Desk tidy thingy with 6 biros (5 blue 1 black), scissors, paper clips & 2 co-codamol pills
Mac Mini (behind desk tidy)
LG Viewty plugged into the mini (lost the charger)
Stapler
Process Yellow C Pantone mug (very badly coffee stained)
Small layout pad for doodling ideas
Notebook
Pad of post-it notes
Monitor
John Smiths bar runner acting as mouse mat
Some multi purpose wipes
Some more past issues
Some copy waiting forms
And my pencil's fallen on the floor.

As soon as I find the lead I'll post you a picture of Mercy Liverpool. Although to build a bit of anticipation..we've got a pink chalk wall. Mercy London is a haven of minimalism. Mercy Liverpool looks like a fight in a teenager's bedroom.
