I can't find the right metaphor. I can't take whats in my head and put it on screen. The right color eludes me. The right shape perplexes me. I can't stop perfecting this one icon. I can't figure out what music to play for inspiration. My ideas feel like a 20,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. I can't buy more time. I can't look at this screen anymore. Caffeine has no effect.
I have one day to survive on one of the most important projects of my life.....

start sketching it out on paper - you need to see something happening to balance all the craziness in your head out...
... you just need a starting point, dude... then it'll all start flowing out of you.

go give your computer, keys and house to a homeless person

I have the design... I have the IA all done.... its the treatment of it. I have it all down on paper ....all the screens.... all the placements.....everything.....
it's the graphical treatment of it that I am having problems with...I have to go super minimal while being elegant....
This is one of those projects that I got the go ahead on Monday...it took only 2 days including research to get the IA down....we completely changed the site ...created a new revenue model that the client flipped over...
I have to rebrand and have a treatment by tomorrow so we can finalize by the weekend and start making walkthrough mockups by the 28th....
I am going nuts.....

get away from it for a 1/2 hour or so. go outside and read something completely unrelated. call an old friend. go eat a snack at a sidewalk cafe and look at the ladies. sounds like you just need to get out of your own head a little while.
good luck.

you thought you were headed toward completion of this project but in fact .. somehow .. in some way .. you're actually en route to
the twilight zone

thankfully those episodes only last half an hour so you should be fine soon.
if you feel like being forthcoming about the metaphor we can try and help you sort it out.
