Busting Out Of Your Creative Rut
Designer
David Sherwin
shares his 10-step process for busting through designer's block, which he calls a "
Stop Trying Ritual
."
Notice you're being too critical of your design on the screen
Move away from your computer and find a nice quiet space
Take our your notebook and draw the first thing you remember this morning after the alarm went off
Write five words that your drawing reminds you about
Draw a fancy chart highlighting the relationships between those five words
Pour yourself the last dregs of coffee and take a slow sip
Focus on your breath
Take the book nearest to you, go to page 34, and copy down the 3rd sentence in the second paragraph next to (or within) the chart
Go back to the computer, print the most recent version of your design, and place your sketchbook next to it
Take at least one element from your notebook and place it into your design
