Everything starts with an idea… too many ideas in my case. The best way for me to capture these ideas? Doodling, sketching, note taking, list making. I have to jot down ideas before they fly off.
1.Doodling
2.Research
Research is a crucial part of my process. This is when I go over my ideas, notes, and doodles and turn them into fully formed ideas that can later be used in any part of the project stage.
3.Creation
Branching off of my research, I doodle again, note, and mind map ideas that come up for the project. I also keep a list of everything I need to accomplish so I can include every piece in my new creation.
4.Fine Lines
After creation, I turn to my peers and professors for constructive critiques. Noting down edits and ideas from new and fresh perspectives helps me turn my projects into the best and most refined versions of themselves. And then the process starts again.
