Secrets of a designers sketchpad:
Everything from sketches, paintings, story boards, Print ideas and collage, this is how we get inspired. Just pick up some arts or craft materials and play around until you feel those proverbial juices flowing.
Maybe I do a bit of photography, or draw what I see out of my window or paint something that I imagined & next thing I know; im off designing my next collection!
Paint on paper or try something new like leather, Use water on chalk pastels to see the effect, collage together some magazine images and off you go! .., Thats the research part of this job begun, even when your lacking inspiration :)
