its called the design process its like a unwritten rule. i have been lucky enough to meet sum of the best designers in the world, Mainframe,Johnanthan barnbrook, johnny hardstaff and nic freeman AND THEY ALL DO sketckbook work, one i havent met but want to is peter saville
Hardstaff is a worldwide known design and this is his sketchbooksssss and if u look you can see where all this work comes from
Hardstaff - Johnny Hardstaff sketchbooks
no offence mate but u really could do with doing this sort of thing rather than just narrowing down you designs to what you can think of....my bedroom wall is covered in flyers and things that i have picked up they influence me emencely...and you cant say your work in orginal because nothing is...its all taken from sumwhere else.
