Where Are You Finding Inspiration Today To Design This Year?
We always seek inspiration from the natural environment, but are increasingly inspired these days by different cultures and how they can potentially influence our approach to design. This is not just about pretty things, but observing a community’s way of life and cultural practices, and the impact these have on the functionality, usability and simplicity of their systems.
