The source of inspiration

We created everything base on what we aware them by our sensitive sense. Those things observe us by many ways. Therefore, they enriched our experiences. Moreover, they contribute to our treasure of idea and creative which are aware as the potential factors in designers. Therefore, inspiration is the important factor of motivation for millions of designers with billions of art products. I awared this concept when I decided to jump into design field.
I have experienced in some fantastic design product. I always wonder why they can imagine those things. However, I discovered that their ideas also rise from life which I also experiences.
Let’s see some designers which make me discovered this notion of inspiration. It is not very miraculous and impossible with us. Firstly, let’s visit the world of inspiration of William Morris- A English designer of 19th century. I had some research on his designs.

Trellis wallpaper

Trellis - It is one of the first patterns of wallpaper designed by Morris. He inspired this idea from the scene of the garden at Red House where he lived. Most of his design is inspired from the nature. Therefore, they often call him is the “green man”.
So as we saw, Morris got the inspiration from everything around him. The nature created the interest for his motivation of creating the ideas.
Next, we will see another proof about the source of inspiration. If you have watched “AniMatrix” animation film, I am sure that you had to aware that some of image in this animation film you have seen in somewhere.

Look like matrix film huh?

The director base on the Matrix ideas, then he create 9 shorts films to explore the incredible world of the Matrix in anime style.

This is the quotation of director of Animatrix in second renaissance.
“The introduction of symbolize, a gate leading to visual archives. When I design it and it reflected my tastes…I had a vision of Mandala in my mind. Mandala is meant to be something that includes everything. I thought it fits to the idea of this place where the knowledge is store. I also create the character …base on traditional Japanese Buddhist pictures.”
On the whole, all ideas of designers are like the reflection of existed things in both visible and invisible object. We can think that they inspired and then created the icon or symbol in abstract way base on the normal things around you. However, although their ideas are influence by something, we can not negate their creativeness is spectacular.
Therefore, I think, we have more experiences, we have more inspiration, and then we have more ideas and creativeness. Goodness for our job!
