Very thoughtful comment thread as well #### Learning how to source concept art It’s important to look at disparate sources where possible. Instead of looking the work of other designers, look at what THEY were looking at. (Ultimately, everything goes back to nature.) But also look at man-made works outside your industry, or adjacent to it. It’s key for preventing design incest! Tumbling through disparate images is like a form of brain training: It prompts more metaphorical thinking, and helps to build up a personal image library for design language and other elements which create style. For this reason, I keep topic folders relatively broad, such that when scrolling through many thumbnails, I can make leaps of insight (similarity bridges between otherwise unlike images). This is harder to do if they are too homogenous.
