You'll learn more than succeeding. You look at the world a different way. It changes you.
COLLECT THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU
Art. Design. Posters. Photographs. Newspaper clippings. Magazine clippings. Furniture. Objects....etc.
THINK BEFORE YOU JUMP TO THE COMPUTER
Doodle. Draw. Write down words. You'll do better when you get to the computer.
PUSH YOUR LIMITS
Do something you normally wouldn't. Change things up. Pick another font/colour/picture/layout that you normally wouldn't.
LISTEN TO OTHERS
Sit in on conversations without contributing. Listen to how other people think, talk, voice opinions. You learn so much.
JUST THINK
Let your mind wander. Stand in the shower and let the water hit you. Stare out the window. Sit in the dark. Your subconscious is fascinating. Then go backwards in events and see how you arrived at that idea!
TRAVEL
Go downtown, on walks, to other cities, provinces, states, countries. Take the public transit, walk, bike, run, take your car, see different perspectives.
OBSERVE YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Store front signs. Products. Displays. People. Architecture. Advertising. Nature. The world around you is amazing.
DO MORE THAN GRAPHIC DESIGN
Sports. Hobbies. Art. Cooking....you learn and experience more. Your view on the world expands.
DON'T BE AFRAID
You can't go through life afraid of everything. The world is an amazing place, so go discover it. Things aren't as terrifying as you think.
