{ Tips for Brainstorming }

One of the hardest things that a graphic designer has to deal with is going thru the brainstorming process. Coming up with a great idea can take a lot of time and can be draining on any and all designers. So here are some helpful tips to hatching great ideas.

{1} Come up with ideas without worrying about how you'll make it work. If you don't worry about the end product you have a better chance of weeding out the good ideas from the bad ones.

{2} Acknowledge that anything is possible. Most people need a break a barrier in their minds that limits their creativity. You have to realize that anything you want can happen as long as you believe it can.

{3} Get out of your comfort zone. Some times your best ideas can from when your the less comfortable. For many meeting new people and try new experinces can spark new ideas.

{4} Think. It may seem simple but it may be the most effective way to come up with ideas. If you just set aide ten to twenty minutes  just to think you'll be surprise at the ideas you may come up with. It was a known fact that Albert Einstein used to take long walk whenever he had a problem or had to come up with an idea. He would walk for hours just thinking and thinking about things.

{5} Always take rarer opportunity. If you get a chance to do something that doesn't present itself every day, go for it. The only things you'll regret in life are the things you didn't do. So don't think too much about it, just do it.

{6} Instead of protecting your ideas, talk to them with everyone. Too many people hold their ideas to themselves in fear that others with steal them away. But making a great idea actually comes from a tremendous investment of time, engery, and in some cases money. Not be afraid to discuss your ideas with everyone, you'll be shocked at how much insight you'll receive from the people you share your ideas with.
