Today we had a talk from the author of Brand Nu - Radim Malinic, we all got a free copy of his wonderful book of ideas and heard about his life, how he got to where he is now and the what inspires/ motivates him to create his work.
He said he is greatly inspired by colour as it expresses so many things such as:
- meaning
- feeling
- perception
- understanding
- it is subjective
He is also inspired by his experiences:
- life
- food
- travel
- product design
- technology
- surfing
As well as information:
- science
- biology
- neuroscience
- psychology
- physics
- anthropology
- economics
I agree with these inspirations and understand where he is coming from and really like taking colours seen in nature and incorporating them into my design. Knowing things is a big part of design and everything you do must have context - there is no good something looking good without it having meaning and being backed up by information and research. A lot of my experiences also shape the way in which I design as well as things I am interested in such as:
- travel
- music
- films
- documentaries
- nature
- animals
- food
- makeup
- colour palettes
- philosophy
- books
- architecture
- models/ fashion
- photography
