I often turn to nature when looking for inspiration for design elements, everything from color, texture, contrast, focus and shape.

Here are a few examples I have shared over the years.

• Call to action
• Using nature to create a color palette for your brand
• Color Sampling
• Color Palette
• Shapes in nature

As a designer I am am not alone in using nature as inspiration and yesterday, via another designer,  I came across this wonderful video, nature by numbers. It is definitely worth a watch.
