Mental Block
I am having a serious designing block, I am designing but am not feeling that I really like any of them. Generally I am quite happy with the designs I produce, I always start out quite cagey but then the better designs come eventually. For some reason this term I am finding it massively hard to get into the good designing phase. I am just not that happy with everything I'm doing. It's hard for me to commit to anything.
Yesterday I stuck everything up on the wall, all my inspiration and designs, I thought that would help, it did a little but still not enough. Maybe I need to resolve my materials and colour palette a little better before I can really focus on what I want to create.
I think last term was so academic and such a different way of working that it's hard for me to make the transition back to designing and being so creative again. Also because I did so well I feel a little extra pressure to do really well, and do something amazing.
I feel I need to change my working method maybe, work in a sketchbook format of something. Have everything intertwined like a work in process instead of being so scattered as it is.
Hopefully I'll have something good to show Sue tomorrow and then I can sort out my working method. I kinda feel like every week I've been thinking, 'this week will be better'. Lets hope this week it actually does.
