I find that inspiration can come from quite literally everything\u2013it doesn\u2019t have to relate to my final product at all. I often take pictures of my surroundings when I see something interesting to use at a later date&#8211;and I spend a <em>lot<\/em> of time on Pinterest. I then\u00a0compile the shapes, colors, textures, and other elements that I see within my surroundings and sourced images to create a moodboard. This moodboard becomes the starting point for me to start designing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moodboard:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21261 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA859F52-A223-4101-BC52-3E9FF6117464.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2732\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA859F52-A223-4101-BC52-3E9FF6117464.jpeg 2732w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA859F52-A223-4101-BC52-3E9FF6117464-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA859F52-A223-4101-BC52-3E9FF6117464-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA859F52-A223-4101-BC52-3E9FF6117464-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2732px) 100vw, 2732px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode 1: Finding Inspiration Hey there!
