So much of design is based on collaboration and sharing, as well as referencing inspirational work that has come before us. This is not to be confused with copying. Everything we make as artists, architects, product designers, even engineers is inspired by things we have seen, heard, and experienced, whether intentionally or not. Nothing can be truly original, and that is something I love about design. This proves that it is a part of our lives, because it is something that we interact with on a daily basis.
As I look through all the blogs in my Google Reader, I am constantly emailing myself entries that I find particularly inspiring. Every other week I will share with you some of my favorites, in an effort to spread the design love.
