When you are blocked… #designer’s_struggle_1
Do you know this feeling when you are full of great ideas, with huge amount of energy, ready to kick ass and create something amazing and then… you are blocked? ,,What’s wrong with me?’’- you are asking yourself.

Well, each of us (designers) has this kind of problem. It’s nothing new, nothing what is surprising. It’s just natural. That’s why it’s very important to remind to yourself that we are not alone in this. I’m studying and working in various fields of design from 7 years and believe me- I know something about it. Let me share with you my ways of how to unblock creativity.
What to do when you are blocked during design process:
- Start to do anything.
Believe me, this super easy method can create miracles. Take paper and a pencil and start from nothing.
2. Don’t push yourself to be creative.
It’s gonna give you a frustration only. Relax, cut your thoughts for a moment and let yourself follow the process.
3. Ask for help. Anyone.
Each of us has some difficulties with some parts of a design. We are all different and we have different kinds of struggles. That’s why we should ask for help. Anyone. Even your ‘no interested in design’ brother can has some good point of view. Be open for it.
4. Be honest with yourself.
It’s just very healthy. Understand with what exactly you can have a problem and name it. When you get to know what is going on… you gonna unblock your head for something new.
5. Let yourself believe in a new way of thinking.
Sometimes we forget that we can be wrong. If you remember about this, you are more open for a new possibilities and good answers.
It’s easier than you are thinking.
If you have some good solutions for blocked mind struggles, please feel free to share it with me. I would be grateful.
