One day I met a designer, actually he is a graphic designer
and seems bit confused at the moment.
Lot of tabs opened up in his browser, high beats hit list playing on with cigarette in his hand and ready to design a logo for traditional ayurvedic spa!
I entered the smoky zone, and he’s said,
“This shit is not gonna work!, I hate this job !”
I said “ No wonder !”
It’s not big thing to understand that where we live, the way we live inspire up most. It’s not different in terms of design either. Even art and design have their own grey area, just like there should be something that come up deep within yourself. Intuitive design is not big deal, every body knows best ideas comes when you’re not trying to think, just like sparks in shower. To be exactly, it’s happens when you’re not thinking about it, when you exceed your intelligence or rational thinking patterns. More accurately; it comes when you’re so illogical.
The same reason why so many creatives intoxicated their selves to be more creative. Just like a style. But believe me, it’s cheap. However, when ideas appeared, every design school asking for design process to prove it logically. Everybody knows we’re going reverse but you know it’s a sweet secret. And that’s why you sketch some developments when final design is almost ready to present.
Everything before it comes to the real world, appear in your own imaginations. It’s true that it will not be the same one. But that is it. So, intuition is so direct, without no expression, it just appear as it is. The only thing is you need to be conscious. It’s will trigger at some point for sure.
So how let this magic happen so quickly, not without getting intoxicated. The mood boards, inspirations, examples and all other things come at this point. When your mind get bombard buy certain impressions that relate to each other it will turn into creative explosion.
Mind is always creating thoughts, it’s on! But not the way you want.
It’s throwing off stuff but not from the right window.
You have to open up the right window at the right time.
Creativity will flow without any intention, effortless… just as it is…
