How do you get inspirations for your designs?

[Kennysplash]

There are times when you just can’t seem to get a hold of what the client wants. It does not matter if you have been a graphics designer for a long time, it can be hard to visualize some requests.
When this happens, how do you think inspiration can be gotten?

If you can't be able to get a hold of what the client you're working for wants, it means only one thing to me and that's you're not with enough information on what you're supposed to work on. But if it's about not having the skills to deliver the job, you can use a temporary fix by outsourcing the job.

I understand you, this happens to me too sometimes especially if the client is quite demanding. I give it time to think about the project well before starting work on it. In a few days I am usually fine to carry on.

The best is to outsource the job or little carefulness here and there can still give you what you needed. Sometimes, you can check out other designs from other designers to know if there will be an inspiration.

I know some graphic designers usually design some projects and sell them online but it is not how I work.

I always wait for my clients to order for something before I carry out the design. It is the reason why I don't have to look for any inspiration to start working on a particular project.

Finding inspiration is not only when you want your work to look exact like other designers, it's for making your work look more beautiful but not copied.

But sometimes you need to build your portfolio. This is important as potential clients would want to have something to work with. So you should not just depend on when you get gigs to make designs.

There are so many professionals in graphics designing I look up to. It's their work that I draw my inspiration from. They create works that are very exceptional. If I can do 50% of what they can do, I'll be very happy with my progress.

Brainstorming helps me so much when I'm working on any job. Even if my client is very demanding, I will brainstorm to figure out how to give them exactly what they are paying me for.

I'll tell my client to give me more information to work with. Me finding it difficult to visualize what to do is probably because I was not given enough information.
