Finding inspiration for digital experiences beyond the screen
In the fast-paced world of learning experience design, where screens dominate our attention, it’s easy to forget that inspiration can be found beyond the confines of pixels. As designers and creators of imaginary worlds, it’s imperative to venture outside, explore, and immerse ourselves in the rich diversity of creativity that the world has to offer.
Recently, we had the opportunity to exhibit at the World of Learning Summit in London, and amidst the rush of the event, we made sure to take the time to explore the city and soak in its vibrant artistic energy.
London, a global hub of creativity and innovation, is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone willing to venture beyond the familiar confines of their workspace. From its eclectic neighbourhoods to its world-class museums and galleries, there’s no shortage of stimuli for the creative mind.
One of the most memorable experiences during our time in London was strolling around Mayfair. This part of the city seemed to transport us into a classical story, with the warm hues of the sunset casting a magical glow over the enchanting designer shop windows.
The architecture exuded a timeless elegance that left us in awe. It’s a place where sophistication and refinement intertwine effortlessly, maintaining its allure throughout the years.
Our wanderings through Mayfair were more than just a visual feast; they stirred profound emotions within us. The sense of wonder and admiration we felt for the exquisite surroundings acted as nourishment for our souls and minds.
For designers, experiences like these serve as invaluable sources of inspiration. By immersing ourselves in environments that evoke emotions, we gain insight into how to recreate those feelings within the digital worlds we create.
Our exploration of Mayfair reminded us that design is not merely about aesthetics; it’s about creating experiences that evoke emotions and stir the imagination. By drawing inspiration from the beauty and elegance of the world around us, we can infuse our digital creations with the same sense of wonder and enchantment that captivates and inspires.
As we reflect on our time in London, it becomes apparent how crucial it is to step outside our comfort zones and embrace the world as our canvas. By venturing beyond the screen and immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds, and experiences of the world around us, we can infuse our digital experiences with authenticity, creativity, and a deeper connection to the human experience.
To our fellow designers and creators, we urge you to take the time to explore the world like an artist. Venture outside, wander the streets, visit museums, and soak in the rich array of creativity that surrounds us.
