Design is about embracing the unexpected because that's where all the good stuff is. It's about letting the right side of the brain work it's magic without too much control from the left side. Letting the unexpected in can benefit the design process. Zen calls it "Beginner's Mind". It's a place where preconceived notions do not exist and the sub-conscience can inform the creative process this in turn creates a clear path to truly understanding the project at hand regardless of the technical challenges that it may pose.
Every attempt, whether it succeeds or not is just more information that contributes to the final design.
Career Profile: I started my professional graphics career in Technical Illustration and Digital Pre-press then moved on to Graphic Design and commercial illustration. As I gained more experience in Design Studios and my portfolio grew, in 1998, I decided to become an independent contractor. Since then my skills have expanded even more as I was often given a broad mandate to get the project done and to do whatever was required. This is often the case with small to medium size businesses that can’t hire a host of contractors or even for departments within large corporations that have budget restrictions. Regardless if it was a design or illustration issue I haven’t faced before or new software to learn, I always enjoyed, and still enjoy these kind of challenges. They are all part of the process.
Visual Prototyping seems to be a growing concern amongst my clients as they seek ways to present their ideas to shareholders and potential partners without having to go through the expence of building a real world prototype. They have the technology and usually it's just a matter of presenting what the final product is going to look like. The success rate so far in this presentation technique is 100%.
