The mind of a designer - 2007-03-07

My mind, I'm a web designer.

The mind is a strange wonderful thing. I don't understand my mind but I do know that sometimes I experience what I would define as a mid psychosis. And when I say psychosis I'm not speaking about a mental illness but about a state of being. Scientists have scanned the brain of someone who has just fallen in love and the condition is very similar du psychosis, more so than the long term experience of love.

when it happens, all the pieces are just falling together, things are virtually building them self in my mind. It can begin with a color, an experience or a source of inspiration such as another website and then things starts to unfold at a rapid state.

I can sit in front of my computer, in front of my application with which I design for days and just.. dry... nothing. Every try is a waste. But then, as I walk down the street I can... or rather the foundation of the website is being built in my mind which I later realize in my computer.

This goes in periods I guess, sometimes it happens a lot and some times it almost never happens. And it grows as I learn.

If you've got something you feel that you're good at, nourish it.
