That’s ultimately my goal. Because when things are buttoned up and in line, you cut out wasted time. And there’s nothing I hate more than wasted time.
Try to reduce what you do so it sounds really trivial
Here’s one for me: Font Selector
I could spend a huge amount of time on a new portfolio website
Or I could just change the font. Which is exactly what I just did. Done and done.
I don’t work miracles, no, I’m a graphic designer.
Just doing the problem/solution, solution/opportunities thing. Nothing miraculous. Only hard work. Over and over and over, hard work. It’s the repetition of it all.
Is there a design application that has it all?
Perhaps Adobe Illustrator? Or Photoshop? Not InDesign? Maybe it’s Sketch? Or now it’s Figma? Who the hell knows. I use all of them. All can be great, and all can be super frustrating. So it goes.
Old Self
Having a guiding light that could be considered your old self can help you see clearer, do things you’re afraid to do in the moment, and talk sense when you’re making none.
Never An All Nighter
I’ve never done one. Didn’t want to, so I haven’t. There’s always a point of diminishing returns, so why force it. Get some rest, see you tomorrow.
