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??!!

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:

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

Small layout pad for doodling ideas
Notebook
Pad of post-it notes

Some copy waiting forms
And my pencil's fallen on the floor.

[Mercy Design]

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.
