When I look at something I don’t see a mere object or simple imagery.
There is much more than that. There are concepts.. ideas...innovation!! Just take the time to really look at something, analyze it, and realize how truly phenomenal it really is. As a designer, I am obsessed with design and it seems that I find inspiration nearly everywhere I look. It's not even something I think about, it is an obsession; simply everything around me in any situation seems to have some implication for design. Sometimes I'll be driving down the road and all of a sudden the landscape itself will form a composition that will surprise me or I will be listening to a piece of music and I will speculate what that might look like if it were visual rather than auditory. The basic elements that come together to make up interesting visual design can be found echoing throughout everything around us. Those basic elements are the key to finding inspiration in the world around us. |

You practically take caffeine intravenously .
You have an appreciation for everything unique .
You 've been spending three days non - stop on a project and it still looks like shit . You find yourself overcome by Deathlust .
You buy a CD or DVD for the artwork , even if you have no idea what the actual music or film is like .
You look at the clock and see it 's about midnight and think ' I 'll go to bed now ' . . . and you actually go to bed about 2 - 3am .
You need someone else to point out that you 're sitting in a room in front of the compute
