The idea that “inspiration is everywhere” can be a double edged sword :) It can often be distracting especially when you are trying to focus on the one project. I find even taking a walk along the beach a distraction if I have a deadline to meet because I see so much in terms of shape, movement and color – will have to get an ipad so I can record these ideas as I go :)

Nobody never discussed the matter like you. Can I call this an inspiration. May be.

Great article Brian and I also like your Website design, simple but very attractive.

About inspiration, the article has all the inspiration in it. What I think about inspiration is it’s hardworking that keep you motivated.

More on inspiration: one has to simply BE in the present moment and BE open to the unexpected. Feed the brain regularly with great reading – the latest periodicals + books in libraries. I’m often amazed at the a-ha moments that come from doing this. It can lead me off tangent to cool places.

Brian:
Had not heard of Dribble, will have to check it out.

Recently got the iPad and I will say I wish I had gotten the one with the camera on it for recording/capturing items on a whim.

Technology has certainly made it easy for us to quickly capture information and save it for easy retrieval at a later point. Of course, the hardest part for some may be to revisit what has been captured.

when creative block strikes, its a terrifying thing.

reading posts like this helps break those blocks and as you had mentioned, use inspiration effectively. sometimes it just comes and goes, like the wind.

Following that spark of insight – that seed of an idea that forces us to take notice, then taking action – is what separates great from mediocre design. While designers look outward at other designer’s gardens through a plethora of media, the actual design process should come from one’s gut / intuition as starting point. Great design follows those initial sparks of inspiration which can lead to places of wonder + wow, through discovery and innovation. It takes courage as it can take you into unchartered territory, but… what a trip. If you get lost, then look outward, but get back on course using using your intuition as your GPS.

I get normally my inspiration in my free time. It is much more difficult, if you must have an inspiration. Than you will never get the best one. The best ideas I have when I rest on the couch, with relaxing music on a very low level. So I get the idea, the best idea, the best inspiration. But I think it depends very much form person to person, so everone has to find his methode.
