4. QUESTION OF THE DAY
Every time we design something checking out what has been done in the area is crucial. It can saves us time and worries. We must learn with success and with errors made before us. We have to find references, examples.
5. INSPIRATION
INSPIRATION1
Thousand origami cranes Japanese legend- There's an ancient Japanese legend that states if someone folds a senbazuru — an arrangement of a thousand origami cranes tied together — a crane will come to them and grant them a single wish, such as long life or recovery from serious illness or injury. They are also a popular wedding gift (symbolizing a wish for a long and happy marriage), due to the immense time involved.
