Comment on Keeping a Creative Journal by Tracey Grady

Tara, combining ideas that you have documented is a great outcome, and I’m sure that in your case, the result has been more than half decent. Not only do you stand to lose your ideas if you rely solely on your memory to record them, but you may lose the opportunity to reflect on them later and develop them in ways you may not have thought of originally.

Hi Tracey, I know what you mean by keeping creative Journals, I have several of them that I have filled over the years. Sometime their are just scribbled words of an idea or sometimes more detailed. I sometimes find that I end up combining several of them to make something half decent. It’s amazing how if you don’t scribble it down you seem to lose that idea for ever.

Thanks Tracey for a very good and thorough checklist for designers! I had previous experience meeting with clients and ended up asking them more questions by email after the meeting. This really helps.

I just found this article, and I think it’s great! I find that a lot of these apply to illustration as well. I can’t count how many times someone has come to me asking for a “quick” and “simple” design or illustration for free, that because they think you have talent or do it for a hobby, it’s easy for you and wouldn’t mind doing it “pro bono.” I agree with Tamixes up there–NOTHING IS EVER SIMPLE, EVER.
