Studio Brief Three - My Design Manifesto.

Don't Force It. Stuck? Come back to it. Tired of it? Take a break.If you force it, you'll strain it and ruin it. Be proud of your work, don't resent it, so walk away before you don't want to come back at all.

I've struggled the pressure of university work especially, struggling more with juggling everything this year more so than last. I try to live by this myself. I fully believe forcing an idea, or ideation, or a body of work will strain it and ruin it, its not your natural creative flow or practice. Something forced is never going to be as good as something that's creatively natural. Stand up, walk away and take a break. Often times in level 4 i've forced a body of work, strained it and hated it. Unfortunately, a lot of the ideation process in level 4 forces you to force an idea, or force a particular process, which I often didn't agree with. Take a break from it, take the creative blinkers off and step aside for a while, inspiration can come from anywhere, you don't need to be thinking or doing something to get an idea for it.
