You’re sitting in front of your computer screen with your favorite creative app open.
Maybe it’s Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Microsoft Word.
The app really doesn’t matter, because without the most important element present, you’re destined to fail.
‘Inspiration,’ they call it.
Where do you find it?
Let me make this a call. A plea. To all the graphic designers, web developers, video producers and writers — where do you find your creative inspiration? Is it at the bottom of your cup of coffee? A cherry-picked RSS feed? A blog? A Tumblr? A Pinterest board or Dribbble user?
Tell us your secret?
Someone needs to know…

Great new pic Eric! I like to always search out and read many different blogs and websites out there in the world. I honestly have found that dragdis has come in super handy!
I’ve used articles/thoughts that I have stuck in my dragdis folders to come up with inspiration when I need it most, i.e. when there is a blank page to stare at.
Occasionally though the best inspiration for me is to either stand up and walk around a bit, or get out and explore in the real world – people watching or just nature watching, that usually gets my creative juices flowing again!

Ah, yes, the power of the REAL WORLD. 😀
