Music for Web Design

Keeping yourself motivated in the design process is key, and staying in that mindset can become very difficult. My personal inspiration is music; glorified for it’s ready ability to modify your mood.

My tips for choosing appropriate music are as follows;

  • Mellow
  • Positive
  • Familiar

Also, a very important factor is your chosen volume. Personally, I would discourage the use of headphones, as the music tends to drown out your thoughts. So in place, use your speakers, and play your selected songs at conversation level.

Here’s my list of Top 5 albums for Web Design;
