Inspiration for Creative Geniuses

As an aspiring fashion designer, I can become very vulnerable to creative or writer's block. A lot of artists tend to get creative blocks or just lack of creativity, which can discourage someone them putting their ideas into action. It doesn't matter if you are a photographer, journalist, designer, video director, etc, everyone can use a little inspiration.

When I find something inspirational, it helps spark a creative ideas. That does not necessarily mean that I have to copy every idea but somehow you can take that idea and make it better. It is not about who did it first but rather who did it better. This ideology is illustrated in the fashion world since everything is so recycled, but that designer learned how to make it better. As i made a visit to the FSketcher website, I came across a few films or music that inspired me. After watching them and doing my own research, I thought that it would be a great idea to share it with my followers.
