Where do design ideas come from?


It seems as though an idea can come from out of no where. But if you look back far enough the idea was sparked from something. So what does make a good design idea pop out of no where. Here are a couple of thoughts...

A) Client input- its important that the designer not only keeps their style on the project but keeps in mind what the client is looking for

B) Brainstorming as a group- if two heads are better than one, well you may have hit a gold mine with a group

C) Other things we see in the market place- Sometimes a spark comes from improvement not invention

D) Things in nature- Seek beauty and inspiration from that which is around you

E) Research- Its important that your "creative" idea is one that was "borrowed" from another. Make sure your idea is truly YOUR idea
