where does inspiration come from?

is it from your everyday life?
is it when you are walking down the street?
is it when you are using the toilet?
is it when you are dreaming?

Inspiration [ ĭn'spə-rā'shən] - Something, such as a sudden creative act or idea, that is inspired.

I think that inspiration comes from everyday, everywhere.
It comes from every detailed observation from even the simplest matter.
Anything around you can just trigger off your imagination.
Anything in your surroundings can be the next big thing in the industry you will be working on.

I feel that to go big doesn't mean that you need to follow the trend.
One should start from learning to explore and observing the happenings around you.
Even a small action of putting a hairclip on your toe can trigger off some imagination and inspiration.
When you feel frustrated over something, think deep and you will find that you will be able to form a composition of an image out of it.

People tend to neglect their surroundings and who they really are when trying to find inspiration.
This resulted in no personal style and original creativity and concepts.
Making most of the works out there all seem to be like a copy of one another.

So how do you get inspiration to come to you???
Taking a walk or going window shopping down town may help.
just LOOK, OBSERVE and THINK.
There's no use in sitting at home and stare at blank space or in front of your monitor screen.
Sometimes sitting at home talking to your family might work too.

Always keep a notebook with you to jot down every detail of your life.

Sometimes this is where you will find your inspiration.
