I find that "Piece of luck" title interesting, as it's very different.
Yes it is
My inspiration? Hm... from nearly everything i guess. When making journals for single persons i always ask them a lot of questions to know what they like, what they don't like and what could fit. At that point i have some kind of rough concept in mind.
I rarely start with complete layouts and evolve it while searching for stock or references. Besides inspiration comes from my mood, the music that i'm listening to or maybe a quote that gives you a special feeling
I often have problems at the beginning especially if people request template that don't match with my personal interests. But once you get started it will be easier, because you have already something to work with. No matter if you like it or not
Most time i made pencil sketches. Sometimes of a complete layout, sometimes only some parts... sometimes only dividers or special graphics i want to use later. For my tribal templates i had the tribals made some days before... i just thought of some colors and put everything together without thinking about it too much. On the other hand i've made several sketches for the templates i've made for the calendar project. So it's always a different way to start.
