go do something completely unrealated to design for a little while... 1/2 hour or so.
go for a walk and think about anything but the project you're blocked on.

ok I will try anything.
The reason why I'm so stressed is because the client is giving me these links that they like, but I absolutely hate. so i guess that's why my canvas is blank. I really don't see eye to eye with them.

Try killing your client in your mind. Works for me.

hehe, i don't hate them, but just don't have the same creative vision for the project. Anyway other way of getting around this? i know i will hve to swallow my pride but i want to do something that is what they want but taken to another level. ok I think I should be ok, I just need food now.
thanks for all your great advice.
