I’ve spent the last few weeks sporadically working on the design of a display stand to display the whistles I make in music shops, galleries or where-ever.  With it being a while since I’ve worked on any kind of new design, it’s been a bit of a re-introduction to the process and consequently it’s taking longer than it should.

It’s really just a tiny project within a project.  Nothing like some other mammoths I’ve been working on for years.  Even so it has reminded me about what I consider to be the most important, and probably the most overlooked, approach to creating things.  And that is….

GO GO GO!  get making things!  don’t worry about what it sounds, looks, plays or reads like.  What you are after is quantity, not quality.  Judging things is simply unproductive.  Solutions always emerge unchallenged, and your best work always happens when you are not thinking about it – something greater takes over.

I found this holds true in any of the creative field’s I’ve worked in:- music, writing, design and photography.

Sounds easy eh?
