Great article. I can especially relate to moving from photoshop oriented design to code.

Everything does inspire design. I know of several great designers who enjoy sitting outside with a sketchpad. I always think it is fun to make designing a game by setting rules. For instance, design a UI that is all black and white with only one color that can be used, or create a design that changes colors over time so slow the user doesn’t notice… and so on. I like to just set rules and see what comes out of them. It keeps my designs from being the same thing each time.

It was plessent to read this, much of it sounds like my self, but specialy the last chapter “Inspiration built from the ground up” was good. Reminds me to try to look in to myself insted of finden the best designer i know and try to comper myself to him/her. then it is surten that you dont think your design is so good. If you just keep trying you will get better at what you do, also be better to put the toughts in to a design
