July has been a very inspiring month for some of you designers out there. Thanks for sharing your inspirations with me.
I took a few of the ideas you've shared and added words that come to mind.
Sometimes the first thing that inspires you can be developed by using words. Take a word that first comes to mind as you think of that specific object, place, memory…etc..... and then develop research based on the word.
I completed a brief like this in college using the word “sour”. I developed an in depth portfolio based on this just this one word. I found this way of doing research very interesting as well as productive. This may be the path of inspriation for you, so give it a try!
Here is a portion of the list:
Fireworks…massive, fountains, color, contrast,
Dry weather…brittle, curling, scorched, thirsty
Oil….putrid, suffocating, invasive, repulsive
Garden…vigorous, bounty, pollination, rabbits…had to add that one lol
Thunderstorms…raging, encompassing, authority, transform
I hope you will use this idea with things that inspire you, and take your designs to the next level!
Until next time,
Bob Martin
