INSPIRATION
I find inspiration evrywhere I go, but I like researching online other artists, to see how I could improve and what I could achieve someday. Many of my favorite artists, desingers, architects have taught me that the most important aspect of a good project is the hard work that is put in.

Architecture
One of the architecture companies I have come to admire is mode:lina architekci.
Their page was extremely popular on Behance, (a platform where artists and creators can share their art) and I was impressed with how modern, practical and aesthetically pleasing all of their projects were. On the left you can see two of their projects: the Sneaker Store and the Water Pavilion.
The way these architects and designers manage to intertwine physics and design to create a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetic is something I want to achieve one day. They have projects for a wide range of buildings, such as cafes, apartments and stores, and each design is unique, yet all of them clearly have a common feature: the attention to detail.
​
Designing projects of such caliber takes a lot of effort and more importantly, a strong team. It's important to utilize every team member's assets and to maximize the project's potential.
Each person has different abilities and strong points, some have a better three-dimensional understanding, whereas some have an inclination towards designing and sketching. Each of these skills are of great importance, but it is far more valuable to cooperate with each team member and to understand each other's capabilities.

Design
To me, design is a fascinating subject. It's an art form but its main focus differs from that of traditional art forms. Painting, sculpture or music often have a hidden meaning, whereas design aims to be clear and to make the viewer understand the message with only a glimpse at the creation.
​
On the left, there is a design by ilben Zhang for a product. What drew me towards this design was the bold color palette and the complex illustration on the cover. The lid of the package has an intricate artwork on it, yet it doesn't become tiring to look at due to the monochromatic aspect.
The next project is a flier design made by multiple creators. The purpose of the flier is to advertise a reecruitment platform for students, which includes job offers, internships and volunteering opportunities.
Unlike the previous example, this design is very minimalist and uses a cold color palette. However, it successfully gets the message across and properly makes an impact.
Fashion
Fashion often incorporates technical elements when crafting garments. The best way to exemplify this is to look at the work of Iris van Herpen, a dutch designer who incorporates non-traditional materials into her work.
She often uses 3D printing when creating her designs, which makes her creations look surreal, alive. Her collections are often inspired by biology, physics and technology in general.
​
The visual effect of her work is a huge inspiration, especially since she manages to intertwine art and technology in such an elegant manner.
