a PCQ-QCP - Inspiration Log
March 21, 2007 |
[-quick tip-]
A Quick Creative Practice
~simple habits can have profound impacts~
Inspiration Log
Keep a journal or notebook log for your projects. Always write down a sentence or phrase about what inspired you to begin. Once you get in the middle of the work, it’s easy to go off on a tangent or get bogged down. It can be helpful to look back at that initial inspiration to either get back on track or make a decision about where you want to go that is different from your initial idea.

good idea! I had an art teacher once who told us to always do this in our sketch books before beginning a piece. I’ve found it valuable later on to evaluate whether I ‘got it’ or not. I love your zine!
