Been out of the design game for a bit so mind is not so full of ideas and inspiration. Gotta bunch of comps to deliver on Friday and feeling kinda stale. Would anyone like to share some recommendations on your process for getting some ideas, forming a path and going for it? Usually, I can just sit down and bust some nice things out but I'm just feeling blocked tonight.

i usually tend to look at things that scare me such as spiders and or insects.. this usually gets me into a very quick or instant creative flow as its like the fear that reminds me i need to work hard.

I'm struggling through a block right now too... I just printed a bunch of random photographs on my POs printer and they have all sorts of lines and streaks. I haven't replaced the ink in forever but it looks kinda neat.

Maybe take two different colored sheets of paper, rip them up, toss them on the floor and look at what you see...

Also what I did yesterday to defeat my block that I'm just about to do now is sit on the floor with headphones, keep my eyes closed the whole time (30m to an hour or sometimes more) and just visualize. If you have trouble, just stretch into odd poses and try to relax all your other muscles and hold it. While doing that attempt to talk to your different body parts... they can sometimes feed you information that can be translated into ideas.

Or if you have blank index cards, get a stopwatch and force yourself to spend no more than 30 seconds on each one. Do this for 10 minutes, then do it again but with a different tool (like next time with a colored marker or something). Then look at both stacks and organize the different ideas that go together and build off them in any way you can...
