When looking for inspiration in the world of design, one of your best sources are your peers. The people who have been through the same and are willing to share their experience. However, everyone is brought up with a different background, and a designer must consider many aspects in order to create successful work. Reading about strategies, thoughts and process within a range of themes will only help a designer over designer’s block, but also expand their horizons.
