What do you do when you have to deliver fresh new design ideas to your client the next day, and you cant think of anything creative or original!?
any good remedies to design block?

I get design-block all of the time, esp. when I have a lot of projects & have little sleep.
Try one (or all) of these:
+ Play favorite tunes
+ Look at design books,
but NOT of the media
you're designing for
+ Take a break & do
something non-design
related
+ Keep a notepad by your
bed to jot down ideas
+ Umm...consume some
"recreational goods";-)

I'm not a great designer so everything below is bound to be crap...
I work with content/copy only. Black text on a white background. Then I start arranging that in 2, 3 or 4 different layouts. After looking at that for a while things start occuring to me.
It's a lot better when I just have an overall vision, but the projects don't always afford us that luxury.
Good luck!

i read an artist's bio about how, when he's in a similar situation, he drop all design related things and does everyday shit. Then subconsiously comes up with a good idea.
Run the project by me. I'll give you a great idea. I myself am on a design roll.
