Inspiration, that crucial spark that works as the catalyst for creativity, is a difficult thing to pin down. And if you could bottle it, you would be on track for making a fortune. Inspiration, or the lack of, is what every creative person fears the most. It’s the reason why writers can sit staring at a blank page, pen poised, for hours. It’s the bottleneck that can cause designers to bash their heads on keyboards in despair. But when it flows, there’s no stopping it. Inspiration is impossible to fake and can sometimes come from the strangest of sources – not always visual. Rather, it draws from all the senses and can be as diverse as the smell of freshly brewed coffee, a song that holds certain memories or even the feel of a certain fabric. Whatever floats your boat. If you’re struggling to hit upon a creative idea or your ideas are far from fresh, here’s a quick look at five must-but books for designers. We can’t guarantee you’ll find the answer to your problem, but hopefully you’ll find they reignite your creativity, imagination and passion for your craft.
