getting stuck by doing more

as all those who have ever worked with design or creative planning must some times find that the more you do, the more you need to do. I have spent far too much time re-doing things on screen. I should have done as I always teach / nag. 'plan it on paper first don't let the computer software dictate the way your work looks'.

well today (and yesterday) I was my worst student. embarrassing as it is to admit but still. I will be completely re-working, and re-doing it all. with pencil and paper for a day or two. 

on well back to real drawing hopefully it will help me create something better.

admitting defeat ..

strange isn't it when you are working for some-one who know what they don't want but hasn't a clue what they want. 

I have been working on a project on and off for a couple of years now and the end product is still not seen the light of day or rather the light of the internet. after yet another meeting today I have decided that the only way forward is to stop giving options or alternatives. I am just going with design 5 or 6 a recent re-working of the of the brief and leaving it at that. instead of giving a choice I am going with it. it is the version I think best fits the brief, and if that is not enough then perhaps its time to walk away. 

sometimes its better to admit design defeat and move on, but I will give it one more try!
