Sometimes it seems like inspiration flows in an unending abundance, and then there are times that its like trying to move a stubborn elephant. Each Website project or graphic design can hit a block like this, it’s pretty common. So, how does a Web Designer overcome this lack of imagination? One thing that has worked well for me is to seek out inspiration. Take a walk in the woods or stroll along Winona lake in Warsaw or the Goshen Mill Race to clear your thoughts. Or maybe its not the woods for you, maybe its the bustle of Downtown. Stop by a Tully’s, or if one is not near, Starbucks (but only as a last resort). Sit and take it in, watch the way people interact, expressions and behaviors; observe life around you. Another option is to see what cool and exciting things others are doing. Not to copy them but to get inspiration and apply it to your designs. So much about web design is finding what works for your client, so the more you understand about them, the better. Know what your client is looking for and exceed their expectations with creativity and enthusiasm. Indiana Web Design clients respond differently than Michigan Web Design clients, and so understanding each client is key.
