Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas all! It has been a busy holiday season. It seems this year everyone in my family needs something designed and though I am very tired I am greatful that I can give something so personal. Christmas is a good time to test your creativity and to make something for loved ones that means more then a fruit cake or socks.

Check out one of the designs I did:

Creativity Dry Spell?

Having designers block? Watch this video produced by Belief. Its a bit long but worth every second if you are in need of inspiration.

I need to watch this everyday. A good point to remember, stand up for your work and against bad design. Clients come to YOU for design, you need to give them what they want but not at the expense of good design. Do not do it for the money, do it for the love of design.

Another good point is get inspiration from other mediums, not just the medium in which you work. Also try changing up you creative process to see what different and new design you can create.
