Listen
People talk to me, I listen and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the flood gates of inspiration have opened and voila! Would you just LOOK AT THAT! I am on my way to creating something amazing, spectacular, incredible! It could be a thing for YOU! That’s right, I’ll listen to you too! :)
OR
Maybe I am drawing a blank, anyway, before opening up Photoshop or sketching out an idea I have for a logo, I listen. I pay attention to those clues that describe my client’s world. This is crucial for the work that I do.
Think
The creative mind is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes an idea will strike with just the smallest twinkling of inspiration while other times the task becomes a process. Every problem is unique therefore every solution is unique. Regardless, I will always have a thought or a reason to justify my creative suggestions to my clients.
Create
The core of creativity. Manifesting something out of nothing. Since I can remember I have had a need to breathe life into my thoughts and ideas. It becomes almost an obsession to translate the tiniest glimmers of thought into a work of art! It comes in many forms and has helped a lot of people.
Revise
Bam! I hit the nail on the head. Hell yeah! Wait, very seldom does that happen. Sometimes that perfect design solution needs to be dug out of several layers. Either way, the design process is just that - a process. Please note, I do not mean this in a negative way at all! (Although some experiences may beg to differ - we won’t go there, just know that I am being honest!) …ahem… I am simply describing the nature of this world. On average, I get the design out within one or two revisions. You must realize, there is no special formula to follow, no table of contents to look up. Each design that births out of me follows its own journey which means that I care, I care THAT MUCH about the projects I work on!
