In the February PLSN issue, Chris Lose wrote of advice he got from Nook Schoenfeld when Lose took over the LD-at-Large column. Here’s an excerpt from that column on being inspired by everything around you:
“[Nook] was constantly reminding me that inspiration comes from the everyday situations that we find ourselves in. This advice has shaped my programming, and my writing. Nook was the first one to point out that ‘As much as anyone says there is nothing new anymore, I dispute that. I strive to make up new geometric shapes as well as think up new ways to use old theatrical shapes.’ Nook was continuously finding new ways to utilize old gear, reframe old ideas, and create new looks inspired by everyday objects.”
