Step Away from the Computer

The computer has become the designers security blanket. Theyre expensive, we love them, they give us cachet but they also give us limits that only pen/cil and paper can overcome. Architects dont build buildings by just starting construction and seeing where things go. Same principals should go for graphic designers. Our computers are a tool to execute our ideas and our best ideas come from our mind to our hand. I would argue the best design work still shows the hand of the designer in some form or fashion. For a designer to become a great designer, they must start with drawing. As usual, Sesame Street put it best.
