This design developed from the fact that just about all of my most creative ideas seem to just appear. I do brainstorm, sketch and constantly think about different design solutions but all of these things seems to simply warm my mind up. It really isn’t until my mind is clear of thought that I truly get quality results.

It reminds me a bit of something I read once, I believe about Benjamin Franklin although I could be wrong. Whoever it was, the story went that in order to come up with new ideas, he would hold a set of keys in his hands as he sat in his chair for a nap. Franklin would also set a metal plate on the ground below his hand so that just as his mind settled and he began to drift into sleep, he would drop the keys and be jolted up when they hit the plate. The hope being that he would awake with something new and creative.
