Mona Lisa, By Leonardo da Vinci.

Designers have been know to draw inspiration from all sorts of things in their social environment;
although what I find the most interesting, and I suppose the most inspiring, is how designers draw inspiration from artworks.

though it is this technique of taking inspiration, from an artwork, something that was originally inspired by perhaps another artwork that I find so grand.







So many designers use art as an inspiration, using already beautiful things to create more...
