Stage 1 of the book I am reading for this class is all about the topic of Inspiration and what it has to do with the design process. Inspiration can come from anywhere in our daily lives. I find that I get inspired by the simplest things sometimes, such as some one's mannerisms, an overheard conversation, or even the color of a shirt someone is wearing. Just like the reading states, inspiration doesn't just pop out of nowhere. It comes from your surrounding environment as well as events you experience everyday.
Being a designer, you must seek inspiration every day. Aspelund (the author) mentions that adults have a tendency to forget to use their imagination. We, as adults, must make an effort exercise our imaginations just as much The same imagination we once had as a child is what could help create the next big thing or as much as when we were children and many things inspired us. It is important as a designer to re-inspire one's self and continue to generate inspiration and thoughts during the creative process.
This reading made me think about where exactly I draw my inspiration from every day. I think that by reading this portion of the book that I will be more conscious of what ignites my inspiration, imagination, and creative process and seek it more so in my every day life and apply it to designing.
