Create!

So, I'm a worrier. I used to experiment a lot with my design work when I first started out but after I got deeper into my college career, I fear I started to lose that willingness to push on when solutions didn't look right, trying to find answers. I began to immediately edit because I felt like I'd seen it fail before or because I knew it wasn't "right" or "good enough." Part of it might be a good increase of understanding, however, I think that the main issue is simply fearing being wrong. My teachers told us in the beginning, "don't edit" during the ideation stage, but I still would.

I ran across this video via 43folders and feel like I've come across something I'd forgotten. Do not hold back. Be zealous for art, beauty, solutions, communication, ideas. Do not let fear and lack of confidence keep you from thinking through things. Do not be afraid of asking questions or of being wrong. Think. Try, try, and try again....and learn from it along the way or you won't go much further the next time around. I've lost that on some level but after this reminder of what it is to love your work and want to improve, I hope to find that thirst for answers again, in design for sure, but certainly thinking about how it fits with everyday life, too.
