So now, I'm back looking for a great London hairdresser... oh, and now I'm desperate! update on this: so, I was going to take your advice and go to Taylor Taylor, I checked out their website (yes, it is rubbish, but it did make them seem as though they *would* want to look after you!)

The best haircuts and they are lovely gorgeous people who look after you well. Bradley is the top geezer, owner etc, but the whole crew are really good too, especially Shinobu and Belinda. They have two places really near to each other. www.ineedahaircut.co.uk (rubbish site, great haircut) Go to this place in Shoreditch.

Perhaps Good Experience should be Great Experience?

Very good piece and very real world. This is the kind of stuff the pushes the boundaries of user experience and usability. Keep up the excellent work.

YOU are creative. As are IA's, ID's Experience Designers or whatever you want to call these areas that we collaborate and participate on. The whole point of the visual is that creativity is not limited to aesthetics. In fact, aesthetics are becoming de-emphasized as the other areas of the "creative mindset" grow. (though good aesthetics still help differentiate as you noted with your "pretty design pending") People need to think about creativity differently just as people need to re-think design. The team of individuals who plan, architect and design a navigation system through an airport are in my opinion all creative. Traditional creativity is evolving. That's my point. :) Thanks for taking the time to respond. I really enjoy the thoughts on this blog. You are a great storyteller. Please do think about it. YOU are creative.

(although, on that note, I have to say how incredibly impressed I've been with ANZ online banking lately, since I've been demanding quite a deal more of it lately and it's delivered every time!). you could definitely do with some work on the website tho'! :) will be interested to see where you end up with that.

I love your 'anatomy of the creative mind' - it makes a lot of sense to me. I really enjoy the diverse activities and responsibilities (almost... I thought about that word a while and it's not quite right)... that 'creative' people have today. I guess I'm a little reactionary around the leeway that has been given to traditional 'creative' and 'design' people in the past... that their ideas were beyond explanation and beyond questioning, because they were so special because they were creative. Like creativity was some kind of spiritual calling that you either did or you didn't have... (disclaimer... this is a bit of a subjective response based on my own experience/insecurities etc. I'm not sure if it should be taken seriously or not just now...) What I like about your 'anatomy' is that it has so many 'thoughtful' components. I'll be thinking about that some more in weeks to come I think, L hey David,

We're off on Thursday afternoon, with stop overs in Singapore (a few days), and a beach in Thailand (a couple of weeks), then a brand new adventure in London. V. upheaval, but v. exciting. You can follow travel related adventures at www.mickleisa.com I have some potential career plans at the moment that are very exciting, but mostly it's a life-exciting move :) L hey Anne,
