I liked that film. Found it on Twitter from someone, can't remember who at the moment.
Like my new design? Cogito ergo sum is Latin and translates to I think, therefore I am. Liked it, so thought might as well use that. So took a coffee cup stain Photoshop brush (yes those exists) and found a picture of a crumbled paper sheet and volà!
I get inspiration from everything and nothing really. It can be something as random as a cold cup of coffee or empty beer bottle after last nights amazing party. My idea notebook is always nearby (or at least my phone). I try to note down the idea when I think of it, otherwise I'll just loose it.
Anyhoodle, these are four things that really inspire me!
Stumbleupon
Possibly the greatest internet creation after Facebook and YouTube (almost). Basically you stumble around on the web. You register, tick off your interests (photo, film, knitting, hiking, stamps etc.) and you click the magical button. It often shows you hidden treasures you might not have thought of or known of. Then you rate it, thumbs up or thumbs down, and the more you use it the more it adapts to you. So a great site if you want to do like Alice and go through the rabbit hole and into Wonderland (or "Stumbleland"). You haven't experienced internet before you've stumbled.
Whenever I need to clear my head completely I go for a run. I love running in the forest, much better than flat hard tarmac. Even better if it's few people there. Just running to the beat of the music and occasionally stopping to listen to the forest. Or mid-day runs down at the beach. That's relaxation at its best.
YouTube
Who hasn't sat down in the evening thinking "I'm just going to watch that new video with Rihanna, then bed" Then suddenly it's 02:35 and you need to get up at 07:00. I've got three types of films/clips that glue me to the screen through the late hours. And often it's random stuff. Like I always end up watching talent show auditions or commercials for cars or coke. Nothing like a failed audition with a shout from Simon Cowell mixed with Coca Cola to put you to sleep. But in all this madness, I find inspiration. Maybe a tiny effect from the new Avengers trailer or the colours on Lady Gagas outfit.

Friends & family
The people around me inspire me. It might be simply from looking at their life or just talking and being with them that inspire it. Moments trigger thinking, thinking trigger ideas and ideas trigger life. A normal hanging out session might spark of the next top sitcom series of the century. I also value my friends and family for their honesty. They know you well, so who better to slaughter your newest product?
Q: How about you? What inspires you?
You've probably heard this on the radio or in the clubs. The song is one of those summer songs you have on when at the beach getting a tan, haha! I found the music video first now. Thought it was quite funny actually.
Today's song: Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
