My barista friend in Seattle mentioned she picks color schemes from coffee shop packaging for her freelance work.
She said looking at the muted browns and cream labels on a bag of single-origin beans gave her a palette for a client's 'artisanal' bakery logo last month, which made me realize inspiration is everywhere if you just stop and look.

Yeah... I read an interview with a designer who said she keeps a folder of photos from her walks. Like cracks in the sidewalk, rust on a pipe, the way light hits a wet street. She pulls color and texture from them for digital projects. It's the same idea... you don't need fancy mood boards when the whole world is one. Just gotta train your eye to see it.
