As a designer I am "creative" for a living. People often think that since I am an artist that I can be creative on the spot and produce amazing results always. As much as I'm striving for that it just isn't true...yet. With my job I have to create solutions as quickly as possible for time and money's sake. As many artist know some days you just don't have it. Your brain is on a mental vacation and forgot to inform you that you are on your own for that day. Then other days anything and everything is inspiring, and there just isn't enough time in the day to get all of your ideas down before they are forgotten. Last week I was having one of "those" days where, to be blunt, I couldn't get my sh*t together. My eyes hurt from staring at my screen, I couldn't come up with anything good, and my allergies were flaring. When I noticed on my twitter a 30 days of creativity challenge. Their logo was sweet so I was intrigued instantly and signed up! And so the purpose of this rant is to announce that my blog is about to get a lot more exciting because June is going to be the month of creativity. What does this mean? Well by definition "30 Days of Creativity is a social initiative encouraging people to create stuff (anything) every day for 30 days in June."
So for the next thirty days (Starting June 1st) I am going to push myself to try new mediums, expand the ones I already know and just have some fun. I can't think of a better way to start my summer off.
Also be looking out for my pininterst that I'm going to get up and running!
