" No matter what form it takes inspiration is an energy that drives people to be creative and infuses their creations with life."
Inspiration can take the form of many things in daily life. In the reading we learn that inspiration is different for each individual. We all have different muse's that inspire us to work. We must be aware of our inspiration and the force that drives it especially in the beginning stages of a project.
In order for one to find inspiration it is important to experience life, see life, listen to life in different ways then what is "normal" for us. If we are able to take ourselves out of our daily routines the one we feel so comfortable with then we will see things in a different perspective and might be inspired. The great thing about inspiration is that it can come from virtually anywhere so the possibilities are endless. Also it is important to try previously rejected ideas because they can be an inspiration for new ones.
Playtime is necessary for human development. As a designer play time, a time when imaginations and experimentation are explored, is very important. It is necessary to have this time in order to explore the many levels of creativity.
In the end, inspiration is just the beginning of a creative process. In order to come up with something that is physical you cannot get stuck on the inspiration part. As designers deadlines and guidelines need to be met and we need to figure out ways to create imaginatively and meet certain criteria.
Did the reading bring up any images that often inspire you?
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job summarizing but I can't help but feel you should talk about your self more too, in whatever way you can relate to the reading =] take the spot light Guady! I think I do it too much in mine.
I think I am inspired by people and different cultures. I was brought up in a spanish/latin style culture and I am always interested in seeing how other people live their lives here and in other areas of the world. I also am inspired when I travel, if I could travel the world for the rest of my life I would be content.
