Animals are definitely an inspiration! Animals are used as inspirations everywhere; they are used in fashion design, interior design, graphic design, and much more. Not only are they visually depicted in design, they also have symbolic meanings to them. Animal prints in furniture, clothing, and just about anything, symbolizes wealth and status. Animal prints can be seen as exotic and is often expensive to purchase. Animals are inspiring to me because it is visually pleasing and can make an atmosphere. It can make a space feel more sensual and exotic.
