You don't need to be original!

One of the most freeing things in the world of design is to come to grips with this one thought.

“Nothing is new under the sun.”

You may feel the weight of having to create something new, brand new, but the ideas you have are all ideas that have been implemented in other places. That’s ok! Now, we are not advocating stealing or blatant ripping off of other designers/churches/companies. What we are advocating is taking inspiration from everything and blending those, to fit your context!

The best designers and creatives are doing this, they take different elements and ideas from all over and blending them, molding them to fit the needs of where they are at, ending up with a unique mark or website that the roots that can be followed back to where they got the ideas from.

The person that articulates this idea the best is Chris Do over at The Futur. Watch his video below! There may be some bad language in here
