Getting and Staying Inspired

Maybe it isn't specifically graphic design knowledge, but continually keeping up with the trends and forecasting the future is my main goal. I sought out inspiration the past year by attending technology and food trade shows in NY and FL, taking free leadership classes from work, collaborating with talent to produce fashion photoshoots, participating in art shows, and treating each experience as an opportunity to learn. Pulling my inspiration from places that are not graphic design or banking-related helps in building a solid bank of creative knowledge without having to worry if I'm copying other companies. Also, I asked if I could attend a credit union marketing tradeshow and was denied because they were only open for managers. Instead of getting discouraged, I sought ideas elsewhere and read CU-related articles voraciously. Of course, I'll research companies that have done a concept just to make sure mine is different.
