Interviews with John Dockins

I still enjoy the feel of my favorite pencil and notebook. Technology is used to help with overall speed but the basics of sketching is still done in my notebook.

Anywhere I can have my pencil, notebook, and a good cup of coffee.

I live in Ohio, USA. Much of my inspiration derives from the Midwest where I grew up.

I approach all design work as a partnership. There must be a feeling of mutual respect and collaboration or the design will never be realized to its fullest potential. This means not all companies/clients are a good fit.

Start with research that is not the same item you are designing. For instance, if you are creating a new logo based on coffee, do not research other coffee logos.
