inspiration – october 2008

the turn of fall has been busier than the bees in spring. although it’s the trend every year, the hustle of fall always sneaks up on us. we suppose it’s the holiday season peaking over the fence. and with that said, there hasn’t been much surfin’ around in october. in our print arena, we’ve been engulfed in the GRAMMY Museum’s 20-page educational program and in our Web world—the new brandmarket.com has filled most hours of the day, so below you’ll find music-related inspirations and cool flash sites, respectively. here is the inspiration we’ve fallen upon:
