    ALWAYS start off with a pad and paper first. Whether you're a doodling brainstormer or a list maker, it doesn't matter - you should never touch a computer before you've spent a lot of time fiddling with concepts in the real world.

    I used to Google imagery and flick through portfolios for ideas, but invariable spent hours longer coming up with concepts that were less original and definitely more lacklustre than they needed be.

    Honestly - the only advice I feel worth giving anyone from my algal level of experience is to start off a project with a pencil in hand, as far away from a computer as possible.
