From here we are trying to get a handle on what the range of possibilities are for each individual project. On of my biggest issues when trying to come up with solutions is that i can get carried away with one idea. I really enjoy digging into an idea and designing it from the inside out. However i’m learning that this is not practical when we’re just trying to put a lot of ideas out there. So this has been a change for me, learning to pump out quick ideas and come up whole new schemes. It teaches you to constantly change your perspective and try to look at problems in a new light.
