Where does design inspiration come from?

January 9th, 2009 by Shawn Smock

I think you can be visually inspired by just about anything you just need to know where to look. There are countless online web sites and blogs, many of which just show other designer’s work. Not to copy from but to be inspired by. Adobe’s Kuler is one of several online sites that allows you to create and share color themes. You can also play around with Pantone chips to develop color themes. Old fashioned? Yes. Fun? Always. As it turns out, today I had to look no further than the corner of my desk. Shown above are a few random items that I had stacked up on the corner of my desk. One of my many “find a home for me” piles. The stack included a book named Dewey that my boss had lent to me, the latest stock photography catalog from Veer and the second edition of Designing Brand Identity with a few post-it notes as page markers. I kept glancing over and then realized what a great color palette the stack created. Below is my interpretation.
