Inspiration from unlikely places
Ever since me and my wife started dating she has been into bird watching. She's not a part of any bird watching club or anything, but when we go away on vacation or to the park to hang out she enjoys spotting birds she recognizes and looking for birds she's never seen before then later looking the bird up in her bird watching book to identify it. She would always ask me to join her in her bird watching explorations and I would always do so half heartedly as it was something I wasn't really interested in. But, recently I picked up one of her bird books just to look through it and was blown away by how beautiful the colors of a lot of these birds are and how nature organically puts together these amazing color stories. So now when I am working on a design project I often look through my wife's bird books for color inspiration.
What are some of the ways you look for color inspiration for your projects? Let me know in the comments section.

I added a new section to the site, Digital Doodles. It's where I will showcase all of my personal (non-client) design projects. Keep checking back as I will continue to update the Digital Doodle section with creative awesomeness!!
