As a designer, your workspace should spark more than just a glance at your screen. Look beyond for inspiration—books, magazines, animation, history, movies, art, words, ideas. Look for mediums outside of your field. Great designs solve problems; the best designs stir emotions.

You build up your design muscle by doing lots of reps and practice. No different to becoming stronger by doing reps at the gym. You work on your biceps, quads, back etc. You become stronger at design by doing lots of reps with visual design, typography, grids, prototyping etc.
