Street creativity is imaginative problem solving with whatever happens to be at hand. Inspired! brings together more than a thousand examples spotted over twenty years, mostly by untrained designers working at little or no cost.
John Ingledew works across photography, printmaking, typography, textiles, ceramics and collage, and is a visiting professor at the University of West London. This is his seventh book; earlier titles include How to Have Great Ideas. Paperback, 170 x 240 mm, published November 2026.
It trains the eye to see ordinary things as materials, which makes it a good book for students, designers and anyone who fixes things with what is in the shed.
