Hey hey hey!!! How are you? I hope you’reВ doing great.В Because today is Fridaaaay and it means thatВ week­end is begin­ning

What I’m going to write today about? Well, every designer’s work­day begins from inpira­tion. There would be no good designs, if you’re not inspired. Maybe you’ll be able to cre­ate some a’la “template-based” design but you won’t be able to do some­thing great, some­thing incred­i­ble, some­thing awe­some. Well, if you watched a good movie yes­ter­day, then of course you don’t need any adi­tional inpira­tion today. I’m talk­ing at the moment about morn­ings, when you stand up, look at the mir­ror and think “Man, you needВ a looot ofВ inspi­ra­tion” , or …“Woman …” and so on. Every­body has their own plan to inspire them­selves. Today I’ll show you my plan

My inspir­ing processВ begins already in the evening,В observ­ingВ www.design.ru (www.artlebedev.ru).В This is one of theВ great­est and biggest designВ stu­dios in Russia.В They have a lot of inter­est­ing andВ crazy ideas. It is also inter­est­ing to look at how their strat­egy is set up. Today lots of design­ers do their work to fit with client’s needs. If client says he don’t like the design, designer makes a new one, and after 3–5 new designes client may say: “Hey, I don’tВ think you’reВ a pro­fes­sional designer, I’ll bet­ter search a new one”. Well Art. Lebedev’s Stu­dio prin­ci­ple is: “Client is never right. He is always wrong.” They don’t work with such clients who tell them how to work. If client is not a designer, then what the hell he is telling us how to work? If he i a designer, then what the hell he is order­ing some design from us if he can draw it by him­self. And I never thought of that before I began vis­it­ing artlebedev.com website.

Then I go to sleep And inspi­ra­tion — part II begins in the morn­ing, when I come to work.

I don’t have some kind ofВ sequenceВ when vis­it­ing these sites. I just visit them one after another and get myself inspired В So, here is a list of what I always visit in the morning.
