Common Discourse is a project designed to help others (and ourselves) think through creativity, focus, and intentional work—from Alex Tan & Alice Otieno.

Every Tuesday we share words from a journal, a few ideas, a quote from somebody else, and links worth sharing. On Fridays we invite a guest to share images from their camera roll and a sound that resonates with them.

Adam Ridgeway is an Australian based art director and designer, who specialises in creative consultancy, printed matter and identity design. Select projects include clients such as OAMC, Soar Running, Affxwrks and Tekla, to name a few.

Alex and I recently connected with Adam while working on a MW.S project together and were blown away by his ability to pull the most interesting references from anywhere and everywhere.

Here’s what he sent us this week.
