GETTING BACK INTO CREATIVE MODE
Almost a year out of design school, I am less surrounded with creative people. And I am “less of a designer” these days. I often find myself struggling with ideas. But deep inside, part of me is “more than just a designer”. I know I am capable of solving problems, having outstanding presentations and brillant ideas… this morning, it just hit me! I must do something about it. I found this typographic video on “29 ways to stay creative”. If you have time to spare, watch this and maybe it will help you as well.
