Not too long ago we were looking for inspiration and did some interviews to find it. There's more inspiration to be had in Inspired: How Creative People Think, Work and Find Inspiration by Kiki Hartman and Dorte Nielsen. The book is based on interviews with creative people, but whereas we showed you the outcome and talked about the sources, Inspired shows you the sources. Many, many pictures, collages of the things, sketchbooks, notepads, bottom drawers, that inspire the designers featured in the book. The list of creatives is heavily weighted to advertising, but includes fashion and architecture. Hardcover, 256 pages, 320 color illustrations, $41.04 at Amazon. Via the style files.
