Doyald Young&#8217;s logotype for  Sea Smoke is breathtaking <\/p>\n<blockquote><p> As designers, we&#8217;re really professional sponges.  We&#8217;re constantly saoking up everything around us, absorbing information and inspiration in no coordinated, discernable order.  And then when we get a particularly challenging assignment, we squeeze the sponge and out comes a new and interesting solution &#8211; an odd combination of different colors and flavors and textures that we&#8217;ve absorbed.  It&#8217;s our aesthetic sense and talent and experience that helps us properly stir the ingredients together. But it&#8217;s our attitude to be open to the possibility help us us make a successful mixture.   &#8211; Bruce Turkel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p> Inspiration really comes from some level of analysis, and definitely an intuitive understanding.  It doesn&#8217;t necessarily come from what something looks like.  It has to do with the meaning behind the image.  &#8211; Deborah Sussman <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p> Practice Safe Design &#8211; Use a Concept. &#8211; Petrula Vrontikis <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Huge thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/chainsawpanda\/\">Megan<\/a> for exposing me to &#8220;Inspirability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I dare you to read this book and not be inspired!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"imgdeco\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/o\/ASIN\/1581805551\/002-9368637-8837644?SubscriptionId=0EMV44A9A5YT1RVDGZ82\"><img src=\"\/images\/inspirability.jpg\" alt=\"Inspirability by Pash\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got to touch this book!
