Search for it
There are many things you can do to find inspiration these days. The internet is an endless pool of inspiration. Search for items, characteristics, elements of what pops into your head when you are designing. Incorporate your ideas with something that has already been done.
Collaborate with others
There are many pools out there you can dive into, where other designers are willing to give feedback and potentially shine the light on that idea of yours that you have been looking for. Don’t be afraid to put your designs out there and see what comes back. Below are a few places I look for inspiration and collaboration:

Often I will just go for a walk, a bike ride, or have a buddy of mine over for a beer. Sometimes doing something you enjoy will dislodge that mental block you are struggling with. Good conversation and a little libations can loosen your mind as well. I mean it worked for Hemingway right? Ideally, there are a million things you can do to create inspiration within yourself, and most of it involves you getting out of your own way.
I hope this article offers you some guidance on where you can look to help you with your inspiration on designs. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column]
