How to get inspiration
This is an age old story.
Nothing comes out of nothing. To create something original and interesting, you need to have a starting point. A frame of reference. An inspiration. That can be something as simple as a quote that impacted you, something you saw on TV, read in a book or watched in the cinema.
Some people go to Pinterest to source references. Others use tools like Cosmos, Are.na and Savee.
But to get the real sauce you want to go into real life. Into rare book stores. Explore museums. Watch deep cuts. TRAVEL.
Follow your interests and your curiosity - and go further than others are willing to go to pursue them, and inspiration will find you.
