Welcome to It’s Nice That’s first In Depth edition – a new editorial series, going beneath the surface of the topics at the top of the creative agenda.
Through these themed editions, we will explore subjects affecting creatives’ work and lives, helping you to understand the current landscape, get inspired, face challenges, and ultimately create your best work. Each edition will contain long-form features, interviews, opinions and creative projects, dissecting the theme from all perspectives.
The Everyday Edition
Nowadays, ideas can be generated with a click, yet homogeneity is rife. For The Everyday Edition, It’s Nice That explores how you can find fresh sources of inspiration in overlooked and ordinary places.
Looking at day-to-day life and prosaic normality through a new lens, we investigate the rituals that creatives undergo to hone their practice, and showcase work that elevates the seemingly boring details of life – in subject matter and material – into beautiful and unexpected creative works.
What’s in The Everyday Edition?
Hiding in plain sight: how do creatives find inspiration in everyday life?
What if your next great idea isn’t somewhere new, but embedded all around you in your day-to-day surroundings? This long-read feature speaks to creatives across disciplines about how to train yourself to look again, and find originality in the ordinary.
More of the same: how creative rituals can help you break free from the idea echo chamber
Why does inspiration feel harder to come by? This hot-take opinion piece offers that creative rituals could be your strongest defence against the slow erosion of taste, attention and intention – and gives you three ways to introduce rituals into your routine, to shake off that idea drought.
Mistakes, chaos and meditation: inside the mind of Bráulio Amado
For Bráulio Amado, seeing beauty in the quotidian is more than an instinct, it’s something he’s trained himself to do, and has hence become an infinite source of inspiration. In our interview, he shares just how this process plays out, and the parameters within which he designs his experimental design and art works.
A collection of creative projects inspired by everyday life and materials
We’ve pulled together a curated selection of designers, illustrators, photographers and artists who use everyday life and materials as the basis for their work, to magnificent and charming effect. This collection of work shows the many ways creatives can elevate the banal into the beautiful.
