One of my favourite films in the world is The Royal Tenenbaums. Directed by the brilliant Wes Anderson, the colours and styling are just everything. I am always so inspired by the creative direction Wes takes in his films – also see Moonrise Kingdom! – and these screen captures from the movie don’t do it justice at all, everyone should see it!
(I’m pretty sure Margot Tenenbaum is my spirit animal.)
I’m a firm believer that you should look for inspiration everywhere, not just in your creative field. Sometimes people get too close to design work that they’re inspired by, and their own work just becomes a replica of the original – even though I’m not a photographer or a filmmaker I’ve definitely picked up on the subtle stylings in movies and used their themes in my design work.
