Ideas

I just wanted to know, where does everyone get their ideas for things they make? I don't know why but I have such a hard time coming up with ideas at all, but then when I start with something, I can't stop (ideas flow everywhere). What do you guys to get over designers block...?

I find new music to listen too, and get a little R&R.. basically I find getting away from the monitor the best thing to do

I just wanted to know, where does everyone get their ideas for things they make?

For starters....search this (misc) forum. I think there are a few threads already like this.

Secondly (and im pretty sure i can speak for a lot of ppl) ideas suck....they dont really help much. Most stuff comes around as a result of experimenting. Once you can physically see something....that when your skills/creativity kicks in and your able to take whatever it is into a new direction. Personally i think ideas/inspiration etc is all bull****.

What do you guys to get over designers block...?

Well there is 2 answers to this.

#1 : You really dont get over it. That block is always there in the back of your mind. Its just sometimes its more active than usual.

#2 : Time/anger management :-D. Get really pissed off and dont do anything for a while. If you want to overcome a block...you need a fresh look at things. You cant force it to go away....you can only wait until it goes to sleep.

And that concludes my anti-artist ramblings lol. Hope some of that was....um helpful i guess lol

Rodder, I agree with what you said. I was doing this design for a game site, and I could'nt think of a design at first, then I just started putting stuff together and the desing came out so good at the end.

Drugs.
