My design starts off with a simple paper and pen, jotting down ideas and sketching out the concept, trying to piece together the wants and needs I was bestowed upon. My left hand is my most powerful translator; it takes all the energy gathered from my brain, my creativity, my inspiration, my conscious, and put it out on that single piece of paper.
I eventually advance into the digital realm, translating my clear yet unclear sketches into code work. My mind resets, now adapting into the world of the digital tools. With my mouse, eyes, and keyboard, I start assembling the jigsaw puzzle I created; softening all edges, and smoothing out all the outcast pieces until the final result. I see, and look at it for moments, giving myself constructive criticism. I either pat myself on the back or I start all over again.
This is when I learnt a very important lesson; design is endless. There is no full stop at the end of the created piece of artwork. I can spend hours on one single design and end up deleting it from existence. At the same time, I can spend one hour on a piece, and call it a masterpiece.
Through experience, I also acquired patience, team work, and constructive criticism. I accept all that comes my way; the good, the bad, the not very necessary situations.
