- Note from Skylight
How I find inspiration? That's more important than just technique in photoshop, that you can find in Google. Design is not just a "tip and trick" stuff. Even if you know how to make a great effect, it's still useless until it's alive and emotional.

The main thing in becoming a designer is to find your own style. How to make this? Huh, it's the hardest and the easiest thing in the same time.

For example you walking down the street and see the great ad banner that catches you, just stop, look inside, analyze why it's so catching, sure, because it's emotional. Analyze what you love in you usual living. When you are happy, just save it all in your brains, save emotions, and when you are sitting at the computer take these memories behind your eyes, and start working. And suddenly the miracle is happening. The hand is driven by this feeling, and you just watching the process. Just remove control.

I like Eric Jordan's works very much. He said that a good designer draws from the inside, that's a great true! Sure, sometimes we can surf the internet and steal ideas, and pass them through our brains, this is the way we study some effect, but when you are in a creative state of mind, all those techniques are just tools, not more. Your heart leads you to make a masterpiece.

Like Osho said just Be Creative!
