 Creation Day in free time

    Designers often deal with more than one case at the same time, “busy” is their label. No matter how busy you are, do creative works regularly, supply the lost creative factor is a must.
With the rapid development of social media, in the past days, you can only learn from the art museums, a concert or exchange activity that source of inspiration. However, things will be different now.
With the aid of network resources, every day is likely to be your “creative day”.
Now, it is very difficult to spare a day time, focus on an activity. Use your free time more, even if you are in the queue, to toilet, waiting a bus, are good choices to do creations.

Reading experiences

    1, Take a book with you, when you are in a queue, waiting for someone and buses, it is very quick to finish a book;

Designers need to be on time

    As a social person, and let other people wait is no common sense. The more free, the more need this.
Punctuality is not necessarily to get trust from customers, but will lose credit not punctual. If designers can not violate the rules of work attitude, will surely can be extended more the possibility of their work.

Exercise is obligatory

Like eating “creative vitamin”, do necessary physical exercise is essential of every week. Maintain physical state is also a kind of work, need to pay attention to a healthy management.

To deal with different things

    For mentally- consuming designers, enough revenue to stimulate some new ideas, new knowledge, is very important.

Chat with different people, perhaps more wonderful than read controlled book.     They can let you see other wonderful life versions, and you never had thought of.

Dress is a part of the design

In accordance with the time, occasion, and his position, wear oneself be fond of style, the taste is not also belongs to the category of creative design?

With word and text power to impress people

    General designers are excellent to make graphic images convey, but is often not good at words.
If the power of design cannot be well conveyed to the average person, but to the industry get to understand each other, is really difficult to identity design personnel of the masses. Only seeing them as a group of interesting heterogeneous. If not with clear, concise words, explain the power of design, and the concept of hidden in the bottom, will not be able to move people’s heart.
Especially in the design, the work behind the form of design philosophy and aesthetics, has touching elements. If the public works “brilliant”, should be feeling implied the truth. If words can convey more clearly, the audience should be able to produce more intense sympathetic chord.
