Often times our simplest surroundings can spark an idea. Inspiration can come from anywhere, a blob of ketchup on your plate could be the shape of an icon you needed for a masterpiece logo, or the way you see something in the reflection of a window can be what you are looking for in a texture. We often find these ideas in the least likely spots.
Here are six inspiring places to pull great thoughts and ideas from:
- Shoe Stores - There is such a variety of shapes, colors, textures and patterns, you'd be amazed at what inspiration you can get from shoes.
- Kids Toy Boxes - There is so much life and positive energy in children and you can get a load of inspiration from their toys.
- Construction Sites - Believe it or not there are a lot of ideas to be had from watching construction in progress...it's new life, masses of materials being shuffled, the sounds and experience can shake loose some really creative thinking.
- Book Stores - There are many examples and design sources to absorb in your local bookstore. From the magazine rack to the fiction section you are liable to find something inspiring.
- Community Park - It's always inspiring to be outdoors. Go to your local park and get some fresh air, listen to the birds, watch the kids play. That will clear the cobwebs out.
- Home Improvement Stores - Last but not least your local hardware store. It may not seem like it but there are so many materials, shapes, and sizes you can pull inspiration from. Don't forget to hit the garden section as there are bounds of plants, colors, smells and attractive surroundings to take in.
As always if you have a project or concept you are stuck on, give us a call. We are always thinking of new ways to be creative and help out.
Until next time,
Jeremy
