\"HarryHarry Houdini once said:<\/p>\n

“My brain is the key that sets my mind free<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

As designers, the key is to keep the creativity fresh and inspired. Thinking outside of the box and out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

Harry Houdini was a creative innovator. His public acclamation came from showing people what they had never seen before, making that which was thought impossible seem<\/em> possible. Although, for him it was a daily routine. He said it best:<\/p>\n

“My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet his inspiration is suggestive of the inspiration that drives a graphic designer to keep designing whether for profit or not: To go beyond the norm and create or build fantasy where none is found.<\/p>\n

Here are some fascinating designs inspired by or dedicated to Harry Houdini:<\/p>\n
