Nothing more than my experience. Taking inspiration for your designs allows you to stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies making sure that you always Design solutions that are effective and optimized.
A couple of months ago I've decided to actually stop taking inspiration from other Designers becuase by doing so I thought that I was stopping me from really growing...but It was the opposite.
I just want to remind you to keep looking ofr inspiring design pieces for your websites or art pieces because it is the best and fastest way to become better at what you do.

Copy everything until you know what you're doing, then step away and stop doing it since it's toxic and keeping you from growing. You have big enough visual catalogue and knowledge to build stuff from scratch. When in doubt, take a look at your previous projects and say to yourself "I have done this, it's my work". Take the time, conceptualize and respect even the smallest element on the canvas and build beautiful stuff - from scratch, your head, your creativity. A lot of stuff on the platforms we follow as designers is pure plagiarism and that's really sad to see.

Yes and know. You’ll always need to take inspiration from something, otherwise you stop growing at a certain point

Perhaps one of the best content for Web Designers Matteo. I am a beginner at Web Design and stopped taking inspiration about 1 month ago and had a hard time designing something, soon I realized that was one of the biggest mistakes I made. Very precise content. This channel really should get more views.

Great content. I really connected with the part when you said, "When you've thought you created something new and you are happy that wow you’ve come with something," I’ve been there many times. There was this project I did couple of months ago, then when I completed it I was really happy that I’ve done somethingspecial because I decided not to take inspiration from the beginning, then immediately I open Instagram and see that same type of design with the same style and everything, which I hadn’t seen before designing, I was so surprised. Thanks a lot for the video, and I can't wait for the next one.

Yeah man, unfortunately you will always find similar designs to your ones but the thing is to male it unique with the details, animations and interactions! Keep on going!🤙🏻

Can you create video where you rate portfolio of designers (your audience)?

Hai Matteo, thanks for your content en honesty. Love it❤ I recognise what you say. But maybe it is like this. There is always one ahead of us and always one behind of us. And that is OK because we are all learning. So keeping that in my mind can help me put things in perspective👍
