Designers - today’s episode is for YOU. Whether it's designing a website, creating a brand, or even just a simple graphic for a blog post, sometimes our creative minds just hit a wall. Maybe you can’t focus, or you just don’t feel like it, or you are actively looking for the inspiration, but you just can’t find it.
Recently, I launched a new template, and it got me thinking about my own creative process again. As a designer, there are times when we need to get in the zone and really focus on the project at hand, right? For example, when I was creating the new template, there were two times that I really had to get in the zone for an extended period of time.
First, was during the “idea stage”. I had to think about the fonts and colors, the vibe, who is it for, and so much more. Later on, I had to make big tweaks and envision what cool things we could do within the template.
In both situations, I needed to be creative and get in the zone, which is one of my favorite things to do as a designer anyway. It's a treasure to be able to turn off other business hats and focus solely on the design project. I know many of you listening feel the same way because you love being designers and you love the work you do. So today, I’m sharing 5 tips for getting in the zone when working on a design project.
I would love to see how you make it your own, so make sure to find me on Instagram @elizabethmccravy and share what works for you when you get in the zone.
