Escape.

To an alternate world.

Many of us wish we could escape. Escape from the confines of our society, and discover a world of wonder and imagination. It is really amazing to think what the human mind is capable of creating. Dreams we have, visions we see in our minds, stories we tell, fantasies we have, games we play, films we watch are all apart of an alternate reality that help us escape from the mundane.

I think that it is imperative for us as creatives and designers to remember to allow ourselves to escape every once in a while into these alternate realities. Where anything and everything is a possibility. I feel that sometimes we are so stressed out and immersed in the stressful technicalities of school, life, business, and reality that we restrict ourselves by not allowing our minds to wander off and tap into these alternate worlds.

Drink a glass of wine, smoke a bowl, play video games, watch anime, or go for a long drive to nowhere. Do what you need to do every once in a while to escape and become inspired.
