You know they say that creatives get a buzz when they’re in the flow. I get that sometimes when I work on designs. Admittedly, I’m not good at drawing or even have any inkling of artistic talent in me, but I enjoy working on design concepts even though they may not turn out as polished.
I also love copywriting and coming out with witty taglines to match the accompanying graphics which is perhaps why I chose to work in advertising a few years back. I guess having an eye for good visual styles and strong command of the written language help in that aspect too.
I usually spend a huge amount of time to produce satisfactory designs. I’m a born perfectionist so it takes me countless of drafts and constant refinements before I’m willing to settle on a final version. I take pride in my design skills and I relish showing off my creative chops when time permits.
