Finding Inspiration From Your Environment - Slides
January 15th, 2009 Filed in: News & Updates Jump to comments
In Novemenber 2008, I spoke at the Future of Web Design conference in New York City about Finding Inspiration From Your Environment. The conference went very well and I had a lot of fun during my stay in New York. Thanks to those who provied me with valuable feedbacks at the after party. If you’ve missed the event and are interested in viewing the presentation slides, you can see the embedded slides in this post (you can also download the slides via SlideShare). The conference video is available at the Carsonified website.
About The Presentation Slides
At the beginning, I showed two of my new illustrations and the process of making them (from sketch to final). Then I talked about where I find inpiration and how I keep my work/ideas fresh. At the end, I presented two examples on how you can create original work from various inspiring sources. If you’ve visited the conference and saw my presentation, please post your comments and feedbacks in this post.

Hello! Nice page =)I tried to make the glassy button, but when i changed the mode to “Screen” it just became all white, not transparent at all. I’ve tried to figure out what i have done wrong but I can’t figure it out. Will you please help me? Thanks a lot.

WOW! this is amazing! I love all the colours you’re using and the fact you’re using animals as an inspiration. The colours made me so happy I now have the peacock as wallpaper on my computer!
I’ll probably check this website from time to time to see if you have made any new creations. Keep up the good work!:D
p.s. i’ve also got the Floral one. LOVE! the butterflies:)

Hi Your illustration work of the pheonix and peacock are beautiful. How long did it take you to complete these pieces?
