Over the last few weeks I have been increasingly aware of an odd head tilting action I have been doing repeatedly whilst working on screen. I have absolutely no explanation for doing this, but have noticed that every other designer in the studio seems to be doing the exact same motion.

After a bit of research I found absolutely nothing useful, apart from a small report detailing how some small rabbits apparently suffer from a disease in which their head are permanently on a jaunty angle.

So, if anyone has any idea why we do it, or what it actually does? It would be interesting to hear. For now, here are some of my guesses.

(i) The tilt action causes a small rush of blood to the creative (colour & shape) side of the brain giving the individual a little boost of creative flare. This is not permanent so a back and forth action is required to sustain the creative turbo.

(ii) The turning of the head gives us an interesting a new angle to view the work which some how gives the designer a second personality in which to view the work from a slightly more critical angle.

Anymore?

-Nice Chris
