I was just wandering the Creative Review website before and I came across this article: http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/march/cr-survey-inspiration which got me thinking about where MY inspiration comes from? I'm not really sure. It says in the article, that they found most people got their ideas while travelling, which I kind of do, when your on a train and let your brain go for a wander. I think though, that as a student I feel a bit pressured into thinking up and idea straight away, so I tend to stare at an awful brainstorm for about 3 hours and get nothing from it, but then when I talk to people about some ideas, they kind of start to come together, and then it's like a domino effect, one idea leads quickly onto another. I get ideas from pictures in books too, sometimes, I can just be flicking through an artists' book and something will trigger something in my mind, which will lead onto something else. It's really funny to think were ideas come from. Wish I knew where that place was right now though so I could go and pluck one out of my brain!
