< p > above 7 aspects are the range of footwear design topics and the source of design inspiration we usually talk about. Next we will talk about the characteristics of design inspiration and how to seize inspiration and inspiration.

< /p >

< p > (1) characteristics of inspiration < /p >

< p > inspiration is a creative way of thinking that people suddenly engage in when they are engaged in something for a long time. It is a unique thinking activity of mankind.

People who start learning design regard inspiration as a mysterious thing. They are worried or complaining about their lack of inspiration.

In fact, everyone will have some inspiration in their study, work and life. They just don't realize it.

Inspiration has the following three characteristics: < /p >

< p > A, pience.

Inspiration is the result of the collision of thinking activities. Its appearance is very short, and it is often instantaneous.

With the passage of time or the interference of other things, inspiration gradually blurred or suddenly disappeared.

< /p >

< p > b, contingency.

Inspiration is not something that comes to mind. Its appearance is often induced by other things and arises when people carelessly.

Therefore, it is not feasible to contemplate and wait for inspiration.

< /p >

< p > C, focus.

The brain that often appears inspiration will use more spirit and inspiration will often visit this brain, showing the "specificity" of inspiration. Without fear of inspiration, you will not mind your mind. Therefore, in peacetime, you should develop a habit of good thinking and concentrate on your own design. As time goes by, inspiration will come in all directions.

< /p >

< p > (2) seize inspiration < /p >

< p > we know that inspiration is very short. Therefore, it is very important to seize inspiration.

Generally speaking, the following steps should be taken to seize the inspiration: < /p >

< p > A, make a quick record.

Once the inspiration suddenly appears, you must record well in the way you are best at, such as graphics, words, symbols, etc., as long as you can represent inspiration.

< /p >

< p > b, audit inspiration record.

Design is a form of art. Some inspirational elements are too many and are not suitable for development. At this time, we should give up some inspirations without modeling characteristics, and retain some inspirations with clearer images for further processing and finishing.

< /p >

< p > C, concreting and visualizing inspiration.

Use modeling method to make the inspiration clearer and perfect.

< /p >

< p > (3) show inspiration < /p >

< p > for designers, inspiration is really important.

However, inspiration is not enough. The key is to turn it into a design concept that is consistent with the characteristics of footwear.

In order to pform inspiration into design idea, the following steps are often applied: < /p >

< p > A, and show the mature inspiration in a series of sketches in order to select the most suitable form.

< /p >

< p > b, combined with the characteristics of footwear and human feet, draw inspirational graphics into footwear models that can be worn on human feet.

At this time, footwear modeling should be based on the formal beauty principle and the basic elements of footwear, and will be revised repeatedly until the desired effect is consistent.

< /p >

< p > C, self examination of drawing.

On the contrary, there are many ideas that are immature or even biased due to various reasons.

If you can check your work with an outsider's attitude, you will see it more clearly. Under this premise, the modification of the drawing will be closer to the objective aesthetic standard.

Footwear design requires objective aesthetic standards, because footwear is for others to wear.
