I hit a creative block the other day. I was in a bad mood and hating everything I was working on. It was finally time to pack it up, so I did - glad to be rid of a crappy day.

I was expecting today to go about the same, but suddenly I found myself motivated, in the zone, and the creative juices flowing.

What changed?

I honestly think it was taking time to stop and look at others’ designs. We say this kind of stuff all the time, but it really is so true - if you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than Google. Allow yourself time to ogle someone’s website or carefully study a photo, a photoshop brush, a tutorial of a cool technique… basically ANYTHING to get your head back in the game.
