Inji gave a quick talk on documentation and having a folder/book filled with inspiration, ideas, anything that influences on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
There were a few books by designers which she introduced, but the main one which had an impact on me due to its style and context was by Mark Ryden, his style and inspirations to produce his collection of "wood nymphs" is a real fantastic route to look at , especially how he has done such in-depth research into trees, through to idea generating.
Inji later showed us her documentation of influences and designs that she has drawn through to different materials and ways she has experimented with.
Generally as person I do like to collect postcards, takes pictures, and draw to document things that have a massive impact on me, or think I should keep as it may be beneficial to me one day. My only problem is keeping it in a note/sketch book (sticking things in). I feel that it takes away the uniqueness and essence of the image that you may choose to stick in. With regards to illustrations and quick sketches I have they are only ever on single sheets, purely so I can have them loosely instead of back to back on another design. So my sketchbook is literally a box of stuff that I constantly look through for inspiration.
