Making Ideas Happen “Ideas are worthless if you can’t make them happen.”  The process of turning your ideas into reality takes organisation, execution, communal forces, and leadership. For several years  jonathanmoore  has been a part of the  Behance community and followed the evolution of Behance lead by Scott Belsky from a product line, to a consultancy, creative network, productivity web application, thought leader,conference, and now a book. Re-blogedfrom jonathanmoore who is anticipating this book to be one of the most valuable books he reads this year. Judging from the exciting things I have discovered on his blog by just page 2, I am defiantly taking his word on it. Many of us believe that great ideas inevitably lead to success. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether it is the perfect solution for an everyday problem or a bold new concept for a creative masterpiece, you must transform vision into reality for an idea to have value. This book chronicles the methods of exceptionally productive creative leaders and teams – companies like Google, IDEO, and Disney, and individuals like author Chris Anderson and Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh – that make their ideas happen, time and time again.

The British Journal of Photography has recently reinvented itself as a high quality monthly. I have to say I was a little dubious when I heard the news as I was a big fan of its weekly format. However, two months on I can confirm it has been a positive change as each issue is chocked full of high quality, original features and extended news and review articles. Essential reading for aspiring and pro photographers alike. Their blog can be found here: 1884.eu
