Designspiration

Be Experimental.
Use techniques and materials that you have not once tried using. Venture into the unknown. 

New materials & techniques I want to pick up:
Digital illustrating & painting, 

Digital freehand lettering,
Graphic typography posters of verses, lyrics and quotes,
Stitching,
Crocheting


Never Stop Learning.
Come up with a list of things you are good at and not as good at. Highlight 5 things you are good at. Find one of the items you are not good at and find out more about it!

Things I am better at:
Hand lettering / hand drawing type (analogue)
Black & white illustrating
Lino cutting

Things I am not good at:
Illustrating (& in colour)
Colour hand lettering (both digital and analogue)
Stitching
Working in Illustrator + Photoshop
Painting

Love the Process.

The design process requires passion, some imagination, a paper full of mind mapping, a lot of research and experimentations then to the actual final product!

**So, so important for me to understand this. Gotta learn to enjoy and love the process!

Stay hungry, stay thirsty, stay teachable, stay inspired.
