The Creative Process

Why do we need the creative process?
- it will improve consistency
- the ability to plan and time your work; always have a goal
- raise the quality of your work
- communicate more effectively and in a more professional manner

Steps of the creative process: 
1. research: the more you know, the easier it will be.
2. brainstorming/inspiration: gathering ideas, talking about what you are going to do, trends
- What kind of message am i trying to communicate?
- Who is my audience?
- What kind of color/style will work for the audience?
3. sketch: thumbnails, thumbnails, and more thumbnails
4. execution: compose your piece. combine your type and imagery into a well developed composition. 
5. critique and revise: tale a step back and look at your design with an objective eye. make sure it conveys the message to the intended audience! ask others for their opinion.
