A key to cultivating creativity is constant input of new stimuli. Sometimes this stimuli is very obvious in its connection to design, other times it will be input that just captures your eye for a moment. You can find it in the way an architect carves a building into the landscape of a city, the label on a wine bottle, or during your commute on the subway. Design is all around us, take it in and let it inspire you as you develop new and original ways to communicate.

While I hope the words I type will inspire you, I want to make sure I give you visual stimuli…after all I am a visual guy. So, from time to time I will share with you some of what inspires me.

My most recent is when I came across Illustrator Si Scott. His work is simply beautiful and all by hand….he only uses the computer to piece it together: “Computers are great as a tool but I do believe that a lot of people rely on them far too much and let them dictate how a piece is ultimately going to look.”

What inspires you?

Be Sociable, Share!
