4 Tips For Up and Coming Creatives Looking to Grow
Today in the inner circle, me @_cunnuh, and @_xprsv were brainstorming with Gabriel who is just exploring his creative side for the first time.
Gabriel loves design, digital art, photography, and fashion. But he’s never had any formal training in these disciplines. So the question we were focused on, was how do you build your experience as a creative when you don’t know when to start.
We shared 4 key tips to help Gabriel and any other creators in a similar position.
Tip #1: focus on projects instead of courses. There are three types of projects you can work on: personal projects for yourself, projects that you’re working on on behalf of friends, or re-creating things that inspire you.
Tip #2: Outside of different projects, you can also work on creating moodboards and cataloging your inspiration. This allows you to start building a design and visual language for yourself. This also allows you to start identifying what your taste and niche is.
Tip #3: You should also make sure to document your progress along your journey, because that will help you in moments where it’s tough to hold onto inspiration.
Tip #4: use leisure activities as a trigger for learning and development. So instead of watching Netflix use that as a trigger to go watch a video tutorial that is going to help you on your journey.
The video explains these concepts in much more detail and gives you highlights from my journey where I’ve seen these principles pay off and pay dividends.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Right now we’re living through a creative revolution, this is a golden age for the enlightened Creatives.
Creatives are thriving now, and there’s no turning back. So if you’ve been on the edge for a while, questioning whether or not you can do it or whether or not creativity is some thing worth pursuing for you.... This video is going to give you some very actionable steps on how you can get started today.
Hope this helps.
Own your power.
Give back.
Leave no stone unturned.
