In order to familiarise myself with the university library I was asked to seek an inspirational quote. The quote I chose is from a very inspiring and down to earth book on trials and tribulation you may come across in graphic design.
Adrian Shaughnessy states that "Too often, an obsession with originality leads to a sort of creative timidity. the bold designer, on the other hand, borrows freely and adapts from sources in precisely the way artists have done for centuries"(How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul)
I feel all artists should reflect on this quote at some point in their life as we often find ourselves uninspired and unwilling to seek other art out for comparison or guidance in fear of being a copycat. This quote inspires me to seek help in others work and implement it into my own.
