Inspiration

I’ve hijacked Erica’s blog for a moment. I’ve been collaborating on a specific design project with a friend and I feel beyond stuck. We’re just recycling the same ideas and nothing seems fresh.  I’ll google things and look at other designs. Sometimes music actually breaks something loose in my brain. Usually the best thing for me to do is walk away and come back to it later. But the creative groove on this project has been especially elusive. I’m curious, what do you do when you need inspiration on a project? Where do you go when you find yourself stuck?
