A few days ago, I told myself that I need to reject the idea that I can’t draw.  So I started to look at tutorials how to draw and learn how to “think”.  One of the methods is to think each objects in line and shapes how that object is made up instead of let the brain telling me what that object is.  Using that method, I tried vectorizing an image.  I feel that helps me to learn how to put the shapes together as much as drawing – and the product was my USB icons.   The result was quite good, and that was a very good exercise apparently…

Because I had an inspiring moment when I was watching TV.  A very flashy, colorful commercial came up.  I don’t remember what commercial it was, but I started to look closely at a single object and followed it across the screen, quickly break the object down with line, shapes, and analyzed how I could achieve it as a drawing.  That was an interesting and inspiring moment, because I felt excited as I was analyzing the image on the TV screen.  That night, I had a vivid dream of a layout – next morning, I was able to recall the layout, colors, and drew it out on a piece of paper.  I guess I looked at and fed my brain enough design elements that entire day, and thinking in lines and shapes that a “dream” layout appeared.

Who would’ve thought dreams can be an inspirational source, eh?  Have you have a inspirational dream?  Do tell.

Edit: Thanks to my bro Wil who gave me feedback to make it better.  The shadow was too dark that it was blending with the thumb drive, I’ve lightened it a bit.
