I have tried the method of logo and idea generation mentioned in an earlier post. This was having the inspirational images for the logo on the page serving as a direct influence for it. I have to say it has worked quite well I found that having a constant visual reference helps with generating new ideas. I am keen to try this out for more things and I am also quite surprised by how helpful it is to have a visual reference constantly there. I have obviously used things as visual references before but never had some on the same page I am working on.
