"The first on my list is obviously God. He created nature, animals, plants, humans, etc... So all these inspire me.
Secondly, the human being; his emotions and creations. I have nothing that inspires me more than others.
What is around us will inspire us even if we realize it or not."
Josef Müller-Brockmann
This is why I started design. Is his fault because I quit digital art and started to make more conceptual design an 100% design. We all know that he kinda put order in graphic design with his publications about grid system and so on. I've learn from him that not only squares fits on grid and that you can put order in your composition even if you got complex shapes. He definitely is the first on my list.

I have lots of things in common with this guy. I finish the architecture and I love the grid and layouts. His publication about layouts helped me a lot in web-design and print. But from his point of view you can start to improve or push the "layout" forward. But the fact that he gave me the start and he makes some inspiring works and fonts helped me a lot.

I was an underground artist in high school and even while studying architecture. I still have many influences from there, even if you see it or not. When I was into digital art it was obvious, my hunger about round shapes and "turbo" colors. Now when I am in design I still got that hunger but in a minimal way. A good example is Bansky and his outstanding works.

But definitely I think the biggest source of inspiration is what is around me everyday... and that is nature, people, sounds, buildings, etc. This is the real source of inspiration and 90% of my works are inspired from what's around me... and the other 10% are what I've told you above, and that's what helps me understand what I want to do and gives me a start.
