hey im new here, and have loved every minute viewing the creativity within the community!

i'd like to add to this, but have reached a point in my life where i have lost my imagination, i cant think of ideas anymore.... im 18! lol!

At school i found it easy, if i was set a task i would complete it because i knew what i had to do! i had a goal! Since leaving, ive lost all my talent and i have no idea where to start.

could you guys tell me where you get your inspirations from!? what drives you to do some of the things you do!?

I had a 'designer's block' for about a month, however I've found out I do my best work late at night.

I regularly browse the web thinking "this site is successful, why" then pick it apart and use the concepts to my advantage :rolleyes:

Yeah, I don't like to code during the day either. It's only around 8-10 I really get into coding.

I find inspiration for my trumpet soloing just listening to other Jazz solos. So for artistry, just look at other artists. Try different styles or methods of creating. Maybe one genre/artist of music is good.

I'm the same, I never get into coding during the day.

I usually get inspiration for designs from template site like 4templates or templatemonster.
