5-Day Design Shake Up

Like many of you, I find that the business aspects of my work can take over my creative explorations if I am not careful with my time. I always manage to get my client work complete and turned in on time, but that is not the creative work that I am talking about. The creative work that seems to get pushed aside is the “me time.” The time that I spend exploring new techniques, trying new layout styles and just “playing.” But these creative explorations are so important, even essential to being a thriving artist because they allow us to bring our vision to life. You know when you wake up in the middle of the night with an awesome pattern idea, or when you see an interesting shadow or texture and are struck with an idea for your next collection. Yeah..those are visions that I am talking about.

Without the proper creative explorations those ideas and visions fall flat, which is an extremely frustrating experience for any designer. No matter what you do, the final product falls short of your vision. Before long you start doubting your work, trying to hard to make something happen, and lose interest in the entire project. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Even when life is hectic and busy with work, children, errands and all the rest, the creative habits and techniques I’m sharing keep me inspired and creative. I know they will do the same for you!
