While just turning up and exploring an area on the fly is never a bad thing … there’s certainly a lot to be said for doing research in advance. Simple web searches can yield great results which will inspire, but why not also look at maps, local history books and other general-interest resources? If you delve a little deeper, you might find examples of pictures or projects … previously created in your area. Look at these closely: what do you like about them, and what do think could be improved? Is there anything you would do differently?
