Inspirational Work

Due to my need for organisation and structure, I'm currently finding it a little difficult to rationalise and choose a starting point for my research as the topic is still so vast. I like to work in a logical fashion; meaning the concept of picking something I'm interested in and starting research without an end goal is a little intimidating.

I felt it would be nice to create a mood board of work I find inspirational. This way I will always have a reminder of the main essence of what it is I enjoy if I get a little freaked out by the vastness of my project in it's current state.
