... dziś tylko jeden. :)
Założyłam sobie za cel napisanie jednego artykułu na dzień, w razie przemęczenia materiału dwa. Wszystkie będę wstawiać do tego tematu.
Mój spelling pozostawia wiele do życzenia, dlatego też muszę dołożyć wszelkich starań, by było tylko lepiej...
Za każde korekty, uwagi i poprawki będę naprawdę niezmiernie wdzięczna i jeśli będzie możliwość - odwdzięczę się.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie!

"I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS GRAPHIC S*IT AGAIN." *
* I dedicate this article to every person who must to hear my complaining every evening.
When it comes about every artistic profession there are two terms: motivation and burnout. Something in it because besides a lot of problems with your customers, unpaid bills and many conflicts with your family (“You spend too much time front of the computer again!” and still the same babbling), you can add one more problem – I suppose the biggest – just you.
I always thought that a work at home is the best form of job in the world. I was imagined myself somewhere far far away in the tropics, lying flat on a hammock, drink a colourful alcohol and making some amazing and cheap project for rich a customer. Whereas…
A lack of motivation has a lot of factors. One of them is making too much projects at a last minute. To be frank disorganization is my big problem. I’m still trying to fight with this by 4 ways.
1) Everywhere look for inspiration
Sometimes I don’t have any motivation when I have no idea for creating a new project. I am sitting with blank card while a few hours and no result. So, I am starting a watch stupid portals with stupid pictures on the Internet until a late evening. After this I am discovering it’s no time for finish this task today. A cruel truth…
It is a good idea to look some inspiration on the Internet. For example: Google Graphic. Many people had the same problem with same project as you, so try to spy out some solution making by other graphic designers. Maybe you can go outside? You can find an inspiration everywhere, even on a short trip to a shop or a park.
2) Go away from before a computer
When I have to make some project and sit front of the computer, instead of a passing thought: “Yea, make this fast and f*cking superbly!” I just think: “Oh no, computer again…”. Each subsequent hour spending front of the computer is a torture for me. It’s only need to going away somewhere else and relaxing. For some people relax is a tasty coffe and a good book, or jogging and doing sports. It is your choice how to relax yourself.
3) Money, money … MONEY!
Let you think what will be after finish your order. Yes… You will have some money. Maybe it will be not a bath with full of euro or dollars, but you always can buy something new and make yourself simply happy.
4) Remember: whatever you’re doing, you’re doing it just for yourself
Every new project for a customer is a occasion for a good training. New people, new solutions and new tools are really important factors for developing your skills and abilities. And this way motivate me the most.
Do you have some patents for fighting with lack of motivation? Share with me!
