don't trend whore the current stuff out in mags, draw inspiration from the masters.. or just search the library for stuff that interests you. find something that matters to YOU.

it's about ideas man, ideas. damn, i recall this great little essay by a designer, said to take a different route home from work, just get out of your element. looking at other great work should inspire you to be just as original and clever, the goal shouldn't be to emulate style.

that's what design is.. emulating style
what do you think your art director does?
but regardless, nobody said the guy was planning on ripping styles from a mag...
he just wanted inspiration

no, no i understand, but what should we be inspired by? we're all aware enough to see that most of these trends really hurt the design itself, ie; a clear message.. and alot of [design] magazines and websites perpetuate the notion that design IS style, which it is not.
'that's what design is.. emulating style'
um, no.

again, im not looking for anything to carbon copy.
im out of my element enough as it is, thats the problem

i guess, how is it that YOU are inspired? would you be inspired by reading essays on design or do you need to see something?
there's lots of thought-provoking magazines/books on design out there..
