the creative process steps
1. research- the audience, the client, the competition, anything you don't know and should or anything that would help.
2. brainstorm/inspiration- coming up with ideas that are unique or innovative while still following current trends. coming up with adjectives to describe how it should look, ask yourself some questions: what kind of message am i trying to communicate, who is my audience, what am i trying to tell them, what kind of color/style will work for this audience.
3. sketching- thumbnails, shows your thoughts and ideas in the moment
4. execute- implementing our ideas and inspiration, pulling all of our thoughts together to start creating your design, don't force an idea
5. critique and revise- take a step back and look at the piece with an objective eye. make sure the design effectively conveys the message to the intended audience.
