Well I’ve definitely been there so (so so so) many times. I think working through the design direction you’ve chosen is very important as well. Once we start on a design project, we revise it, and revise it, and revise it again. And then when the final is due, the professor will sometimes says, “Ok but it’s still not finished,” or even you might say “Ok but it’s still not finished.” But once it’s really finished, it’s (hopefully) a great solution that a lot of careful thought, consideration and cleanup has gone into.
It’s interesting to see Alex Merto’s versions because they all seem to have come from the same thought process, and are just different variations and style experiments of a direction. I’ve always found it hard to go in two opposite directions to see which I’ve liked best, and have found that variations on an a single idea is the best way for me to move forward.
And then I’ll go ahead and dump my design proofs onto friends and family members and hold them hostage until they give me feedback.
Thanks for the designworklife.com link Molly - another blog to add to my “read these while procrastinating” list.
