I have been trying to create a creative habit. Putting these two words together seems a bit contradictory, but in order to develop a habit of drawing and collecting inspiring imagery, I have had to be a bit more disciplined and constantly remind myself.
Once in this mindset, it is amazing how much inspiring pattern and imagery there is around, you just have to tune into it.
I stumbled across this gorgeous postcard by a company called Lagom.
I looked at their website and found an amazing collection of design, plus their fantastic ethos,
which reads, “Lagom is a Swedish word. It describes a feeling when something possesses ‘perfect balance’ or is ‘just right’. We have adopted this word to reflect the very ethos of our desire to capture this magical state. It may be difficult to attain, but when you do, something inside tells you it is Lagom.”
Nice. Have a look at their website here http://www.lagomdesign.co.uk/single.htm?ipg=11574
I also frequent the websites of two designers a lot at the moment.
The first is Sanna Annukka. http://www.sanna-annukka.com/projects/ and the other is Skinny LaMinx http://skinnylaminx.com/
I love the boldness and simplicity of their desgins and feel genuinely excited when they produce something new!
Enjoy and I hope you feel inspired to invite more creativity into your own life. Suround yourself with images and ideas that excite and lift yourself from the everyday.
