7 Habits of Highly Creative Minds
4. Don't Shut The Door On Creativity
We all know it's important to listen to other's feedback. But if someone is telling you something can't be done or shouldn't be done without hearing the full story - don't listen to them. Create without interruption. You don't want someone knocking down your ideas before those ideas flourish.You don’t want someone knocking down your ideas before those ideas flourish.When it comes to being a freelancer though, we have to sometimes tone down our creative mind from getting too wild. But don't do this right away. If a client asks for a logo with very specific requests, don't immediately follow those rules.
First, design with your initial instincts. What could you do with their concept that they hadn't asked for? Then tone it down to meet their requirements. Perhaps you could even include this concept design in your preliminary draft. It may even inspire your client to think of something they would want to include in the design. But if you're going to do this, make sure most of the work you present them follows what they asked for. The point is to keep the door to creativity open. When you write, don't stop to edit. This is when you loose all the good thoughts that prompted you to open a blank document in the first place.
Create now and edit after. Who knows where your creative mind will go?
