Creativity is intelligence having fun. – Albert Einstein

How do designers begin the design process?  What inspires them and  what is the source of  their design inspiration?  To set themselves apart and foster originality, sources of inspiration play a powerful role throughout the creative stage of design process.

Brightly colored industrial pipes, deteriorated and weathered concrete, abandoned buildings, exposed rebar can inspire a creative capsule.

This fashion designer hit the road for inspiration.  At London Fashion Week English designer Anya Hindmarch unveiled a new collection inspired while driving her car.

For those designers that make it a practice to step out of the box and comfort zone to seek a level of engagement and influences that stimulate their creativity, offer artistic expression of the unexpected.   Starting the design process with a blank canvas – un lienzo en blanco – takes away the boundaries.  The market is hungry for artistry in design that has no fear of being bold, daring, and progressive.
