Design Inspiration, the website, has been around for a while. I was recently listening to a podcast that name-dropped this website and I checked back in and was pleasantly surprised and how it has stayed relevant with an updated user interface.
So why is it important to refresh your design spirit?
Refreshing is crucial after working with a company or client bound by specific requirements or limitations. Design, inherently a creative endeavor, often demands innovation and the ability to start anew. Whether it's a new product or brand requiring initial ideation, maintaining a clean and open mindset is vital. Shedding any baggage or tired ideas ensures a fresh approach.
An idea that succeeded a couple of years ago might now be outdated; societal and cultural shifts may have moved away from the foundations that once held significance. Therefore, it's essential, especially if you've been immersed in a particular industry, to break away and design for something new. This shift allows you to exercise the creative muscle and adapt to evolving trends and perspectives.
