# Inspiration

We'll keep adding to this list over the semester as new things pop up in class.

## Conferences

An easy way to start finding precedents is to look for academic conferences (large or small) related to your research topic.

### [CHI (Computer Human Interaction) ](https://chi2019.acm.org/)

The biggest computer-human interaction conference in the world. What happens here is indicative of the state of HCI in the world. Here's [2018](https://chi2018.acm.org/) as well.

## Blogs

### [The Creative Independent](https://thecreativeindependent.com/)

Wonderful set of resources for all sorts of creative practitioners, from the extremely practical to whimsical.
