Re: Step away from the computer

I think there is something about having a pencil in hand that helps unlock solid design ideas. I also think it is important to write content by hand as well. When I have an article of essay to write, I often head straight from the computer to start structuring my thoughts; however, there is something about putting pen to paper that really helps me organize my ideas. It is also helpful to have sketches and notes written out to prove that your work is truly your work. Journalist, for instance, keep notes and drafts in case the authenticity of their work is ever questioned.
