A new blog diving into the online design community is Craig Farrell , and this week he has asked everyone to show their workspace, whether it be a designer’s corner in an office block, or a programmers dungeon with no sunlight.
Nice idea and it will be fun to see our online friends’ work areas, what kind of hardware they use, etc.
Here are a few shots of my office and workspace (click on the below image to view larger)
1: Seagate External Hard Drive (for backup)
2: 22" Samsung SyncMaster T220 : LCD Monitor
3: 22" Samsung SyncMaster T220 : LCD Monitor
4: Notebook (notes from phone calls and quick sketches of ideas and things go here)
5: Wireless Microsoft Comfort Keyboard
6: Cellphones (Mobile phones for the UK and Ireland visitors! 
7: Ray-Bans (always have them handy as Florida sunshine is tough on the eyes.)
8: Bob the Buddha with Candle (He promotes peace and serenity, especially when I want to throw my computer out the window.)
9: Wireless Microsoft mouse and Allsop Pad (love it!)
10: Appointments/Meetings book and my "To Do" pile.
I have a nice window to my left that keeps me sane when I am deep in CSS and PHP.
On the walls of my office are 3 photos in frames: Marylin Monroe, Elvis Presley and The Beatles (The Beatles poster is above my head, behind my seat.) I also have posters of Bob Marley, and James Dean that I will put up someday.
The "Greats" of their industry surround me and inspire me each day. Oh yeah, and Bob the Buddha keeps me calm. The candle also smells pretty good!
What does your workspace look like? Head on over to Craig’s site and post the link.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for takeing part in this little fun game, you have a very nice work area, with two 22 inch monitors, ooo how I am jealous, that is my aim one day, when funds permit, to have two monitors, I wouldn’t mind some kind of white board to keep notes.
Nice touch with the buddha

Lol. We have the same mousepad.
I’ve got a similar setup, but twin 19″ LG’s and a Cintiq (which makes it a 3 monitor setup).
That is a very slick layout you have going there Brian!
That mouse mat looks ideal for me (I’ve been looking for a decent one for ages!) Anyone know where to get one in the UK?
Thanks
Phil
Yeah, two monitors is great, especially when working on design and css projects at the same time.
Dainis,
Thanks! Yeah, I like the musical theme of the posters on the walls.Thanks for the visit to the site.
Mark,
I had a look, nice and clean. Thanks for visiting
Jacob,
That seems like a nice upgrade from your last set up…didn’t you post a pic a while back of your previous workspace?
Andrei,
Sounds good. Do you have 3 off of the same machine? I’ve usually got my laptop near by on my desk but 3 for me just gets ridiculous! Thanks for the comment and visit
David,
Thanks!
Phil,
It is an Allsop, that’s about all the info I have on it. You can’t see it in the photo, but the under side of the platform is cushioned which adds a nice touch to the feel of it.
Sheesh, I feel like a hobo among suits, lol. Anyway here’s my humble little space: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dwcloud/2827690046/in/set-72157607103034500/
Brian,
Pretty much the same as my last place…

I love the 2 monitor setup! One day I hope to graduate to that
In the meantime, I recently upgraded to a 24″ monitor, which is pretty nice.
I just finished a total re-organization of the office (still have some papers to file away though). Don’t mind the before pics - they’re in bad shape, LOL. Only look at the nice clean after shots, ha ha
