To help keep inspired as a graphic designer, I travel often and not alone. Now I have in addition to family and friends - Blabber Duckie. When traveling I get the chance to see things that one just does not get to see behind a desk. Plus I get to experience life first hand. Recently, I was traveling along in New Mexico and you bet Blabber Duckie was along for the trip (plus my husband and a few close friends). On a long stretch of highway, leading to where it appeared to no where we approached an absolute breathe taking all inspiring gorge. This gorge is The Rio Grande Gorge and wow the beauty it holds is so very amazing. The rich rocky earth tones of deep greens and browns with a slight dusting of brilliant white (snow) stand tall flanking a crystal vivid aqua (river) - was so breathe taking. Looking down from the bridge (~ 650 feet) into this inspiring earthly beauty was definitely an experience that I will remember and soon incorporate into my designs. When I stop to admire my surroundings it is very easy to see earth provides a lot of inspiration if we will just stop a second to recognize it. Earth gets it and as a designer I am taking notes.
