Drawing inspiration from travel…
On my recent family holiday to Italy I found my creativity delightfully excited by the sights, sounds, and cultural experiences.
As I wandered through the charming streets of Rome, Burano, and Venice, I found myself surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and designs that sparked creative ideas. Every corner felt like a photo opportunity and I had to consciously put down my phone and allow myself to experience the beauty. From the vibrant hues of ancient architecture to the intricate logos and patterns adorning local shops and cafes, every detail seemed to whisper fresh ideas.
Rome’s warm terracotta tones and golden light had me dreaming up earthy, natural designs, while Burano’s rainbow-hued houses and lace-making traditions inspired playful, whimsical patterns in my mind. In Venice, the majestic grandeur of St. Mark’s Square and the delicate filigree painted on the gondolas had me envisioning elegant, sophisticated logos and patterns.
Everywhere I looked, I saw inspiration waiting to be captured. The ornate frescoes, the delicate ceramics, the colorful market stalls – each one a reminder that beauty and creativity are all around us.
Traveling has a way of opening our eyes to new perspectives and sparking creativity in ways that suprise us. Italy, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, has been a true treasure trove of inspiration.
My colour theme for the next few months is a tribute to the beauty of Venice, Burano and Rome. Be sure to look for my Italy inspired colour theme on instagram, facebook, and my website.
Are you feeling stuck or in need of a creative boost, maybe it’s time to take a break and explore new places, take in the sights and sounds, and let the world inspire you. Even visiting places in your own city that you’ve never been before could be a source of inspiration. Who knows what fresh ideas and designs are waiting to be discovered?
