Inspiration

Hi,

My brain is in a freeze…and it’s only 11:00 oclock! I am an intermediate-level Flash designer and I’m creating a Flash intro animation for a client. Brainstorming this is ALWAYS hard and was wondering what you guys do to alleviate the confusion of coming up with something cool, creative, and that is a slight twist from the generic and ordinary.

What inspires you when you create Flash intros for a variety of clients (from musicians to financial investment companies) ? Is it TV commercials? Watching what other sites do at the beginning? Going through stylish “hip” magazines?

So far Kirupa’s Site Of The Week has pretty good submissions on work…definetly a learning experience.
