Where to get product design inspiration
Product design is a creative process, and very often, the best triggers for good work come from inspirations.
Ira Glass talks about the importance of taste when describing the creative process. When you are trying to make stuff, especially in the beginning, it’s just not very good. But you have your taste that you can rely as a guide to get what you are making to a better place. So use it to find inspiration and then go make better things.
