I know that my opinion is somehow psychological or personal rather than objective but for me doing something you like while thinking will make the ideas flow a lot more easier. For example, I like to listen to music before drawing something which makes me inspired, relaxed or motivated. This works for me because the outcome is much more better than what I expect it to be. Another way is to look for samples of an artwork which is very accessible in the internet and get an idea or be inspired of how this artworks are beautifully done. That's how it works perfectly for me.

Graphic design is an art which also involves a lot of skill and imagination. I think whenever you try very hard to find some inspiration then it is very likely that you will find none. However, when you don't get worked up then it is very likely that you will find that your mind will work very efficiently and you will come up with magnificent designs and ideas for your project. You can also get inspiration from the work of other designers and you can use it to create your own unique design

Whenever I'm lacking inspiration, I visit sites like Pinterest or other image sites. Here I collect images that inspire me in whatever way so that I can use them in the future. This way I can just open up the site when I'm ready to work on a project and view everything I've gathered, without having to put energy into finding new images when I don't have a lot of time in that moment.

It can also help to trigger your mind into a creative workflow. I try to do this by creating habits whenever I go to work. For example, I like to light the same incense or drink a specific type of tea so that the scents and flavors get me into the right mindset!

I always talk to my clients to ask because sometimes they have request and they already have a specific idea in their mind and all i have to do is add a bit on it.
By communicating with your client it will help the both of you, its like you are just having a collaboration and this will also avoid misunderstanding and will build a good relationship and rapport to your clients that might lead to loyalty.

I majored in Graphic Design and Advertising when I went to college, and there were a decent number of tips and tricks that me and my peers picked up along the way.

One of the main strategies I use is an organized process of brainstorming. With the client in mind, I write down everything that I associate with their brand, and then I start making possible connections in order to create fundamental ideas. Then after I’ve cherry picked some possible candidates, I start doodling some thumbnails in order to visualize my ideas. From there it’s just a process of elimination and refinement until you reach the final product.

That's really cool. You sound so professional. This reminds me of the novel writing process. You start off with some plotting. You organize everything down to the most minute details. Then you start writing drafts.

Thank you for the compliment! And you make a good point about the refinement process.

A lot of people think that designing or writing something is a matter of thinking something up, putting it on paper (or on screen rather) and you’re done. I don’t know a single person who does it that way, because you’d have to be some sort of genius to do so.

You have to start with a rough idea and then just keep on polishing it until it shines.

Thank you for the compliment! While wouldn’t go so far as to say that designing is simple for me, it’s definitely a simplified process when you have a format that you can use to create ideas. Most people assume that designers just come up with an idea in their head, and that’s what becomes the finished product. The truth is that it’s a lot of trial and error—testing to see what works and what doesn’t—and constantly polishing things until you get to the final product.

As for advertising, design and advertising go hand in hand, since being familiar with good design is a necessary part of being able to effectively advertise a product.

Ideas comes to me in a flash so I have myself always ready with my notebook and pen so that every time an idea strike in my head. I am ready to write it down as soon as possible so I can remember it. It is also advisable to work on it immediately every time an idea pops out from your head in order for us to maintain momentum because idea is an inspiration which has an expiration. So be sure to use that idea as early as possible before it will become the idea of others.

Clients already have an idea in their mind and I agree with what others have written that indeed we need a good communication skills in order for us to pick what kind of idea our client already has in their brains. It is our job then to tap those idea and present it to our client visually. If you are going to do this provide your clients with 3 or more options of graphic design so that your client have many options that he can use and eventually you getting more clients because of referral because you have satisfied this particular client.

You should have basic knowledge of what the design is going to represent, your clients will give you ideas on what to do. A good open communication with your client always helps with the ideas you can input in a design, and if you get stuck, asking someone else for help goes a long way.

Sometimes I am watching at YouTube some videos whenever I want to come up an idea into certain things and I really make it a point to understand and get all the important details that I really need so that it will give e a lot of benefits. Though watching at YouTube I can easily acquire some new knowledge that I really need in my article writings and for my other freelancing sites.

Ideas come from so many different avenues. I can be asleep and dream up something weird or unusual and a fresh concept will come out of it. Taking a shower, walking down the street, driving my car, all of those normal things are ways to enrich my artistic zone. It's only when I don't bother to use those concepts that they fail me. I forget to write them down, or sketch them out, and then they're just gone, or they don't seem as important anymore. I have to keep myself in the creative mode or things will escape my grasp.

The land of dreams is indeed a place where creativity and inspiration resides. And yes the shower too! You should always have a small notepad and a small pen to carry around with you everywhere. I find that writing things down as they come is easier than having to wait until I can write them down somewhere because then I'd forget all the good parts.

Sometimes talking with friends about different subjects gives me ideas and sometimes I get ideas from my friends. As they say 2 heads are better than one and if you have a lot of friends, you can use that to your own advantage.

I recently got an idea from a dream I had! I’d been worrying about a pitch to a client and I guess it was on my subconscious so much that I even dreamed about it. The human brain is a crazy thing at times!

How do you come up with ideas: Ideas flashes and it came into my mind. To come up those better ideas, I like/prefer to stay those peaceful place, a relaxing scenery that make my mind feel at ease and relax. Then, whatever I think suddenly an idea came on my mind. And also with the heart and mind connected there were so many better ideas that came out of nowhere.

I come up with many ideas right after just waking up, when my body is calm and relaxed, and there's no distractions, I can just imagine and focus on that design or logo that I wanna create and the energy will just flow and I will go and do it immediately before stress arises.

I often get ideas from nature and my surroundings. For example I get inspired just by looking out the window and observing my neighbors. I also get inspired by movies, shows and music. it could be the story of a film that gets you or a single shot or scene that will make you think of different scenarios and ideas.

Sometimes I am motivated to acquire ideas whenever I am not experiencing a lot of problems in my mind because it helps me to think well. Having a lot of problems prevent us to have some great ideas that are very helpful at some time. It is very important to eliminate problems first for us to have a peace of mind and so that we can think immediately for some ideas that would benefit us a lot.

I usually explore on things that will inspire me. A young boy will only desire to have a ball if he saw another kid playing a ball and that's the start of his desire to have a ball. The same is true in getting an idea. Sometimes you have to explore on the things that will make you desire on something and it will free your imaginations.

It's hard to come up with ideas, especially when you're extremely busy with your daily routine and job. Usually ideas come up randomly, it's rare when I sit down to think about an idea and it will eventually come up. I think having numerous ideas is like a talent, and to be more precise, a talent of creation. But it's like the work of an artist, very random.

Sometimes I am waking up in the early since this is the time that I feel that I can get better ideas for my article writing. It is good to start early in the morning because it is fresh and very cool to think about. It makes me think easily since it is very calm and peaceful which makes it good to have.

Whenever I run out of designs but needed to meet my deadline, I always find inspiration from looking out the window. The busy street has some hypnotizing effect on me that my mind drifts wherever. As a result, my mind seem to work on the project I am working on subconsciously. Works for me everytime.

I came up with new ideas when I see a lot of artistic things around me. It is like giving me motivation out of the art of other people.
