Although design isn't my main pursuit, I sill have a great interest in digital design. Every time I see an interesting website layout or a graphic art piece, I always wonder if I could create something similar. The only thing I noticed that doesn't greatly motivate me to create more digital pieces is the limitation imposed. I'm more of a free thinker and like creating whatever I feel like, but I do respect that fact that although designers are boxed in, they can still creatively deliver a piece that seems out of the box.
Beyond making a living, what do you hope to achieve through design?
I most likely hope I gain the creativity in creating something appealing using only limited assets. Another thing I wish to gain would be how to pace myself in creating a finished piece in a timely matter. When I sit down to do a drawing or a painting, I tend to take quite some time trying to make everything perfect (although I don't know what perfect I'm working towards). Since in design, not all the elements are going to originally created by me, I might be able to pace myself and not get way into the detail, but still achieve something interesting. Hopefully, this pacing I learn can be transfer into my other artworks.
What inspires you to design?
What typically inspires me is the old and new designers and all their works I either see on the web or elsewhere. Although, I do get envious, I also get a sense of hope that I can create something just like them. The world around me is another inspiration. As different events happen everyday and every new experience I pick up, many different ideas starts flowing into me.
What is it relevance to your life and world around you?
It's relevance to me because it's a way of expressing myself to the rest of the world. A design would sometime do better in explaining something compare to me having to explain it myself. This doesn't apply to just personal work, though. For a client, you are expressing their ideas to the world. In the end, sometimes when you don't know what to say, a design or any other art can do the talking.
Links:
There's a lot more site than these that I check out, but I either don't remember or don't feel like typing them all down. I pretty much gain inspiration by looking at other artists' works, listening to music, or just observing what happens around me.
People probably already know about these sites. However, I don't just go these sites just to see something interesting, but I also check the method, the reason, etc. among other things so I can better prepared myself as an artist.
