So getting back to the studio...
So I'm working again on redesigning my website and blog. Graphic design class actually seems to be successfully aiding my way of thinking visually and also in terms of visual construction, consumer viewing, and simple aesthetics. Its interesting considering half of the assignments aren't anything I haven't already done in other classes, but I actually had a really hard time in the beginning because they evaluate their assignments in a completely different way than Illustrators where its mostly (if not purely) aesthetic.
It's also about simplicity which is something that I'm getting very into. I've always had a problem overthinking my art and thinking simply is something I've learned over the duration of both U of A and furthered into this Graphic Design class. It's a big contrast to MICA where I got encouraged to think and rethink what I was doing. Its really helped my art sense a lot. C: I'm enjoying how it's allowing me to refine myself as an artist.
I dunno. Maybe this is just basic and I'm only "applying" it now.
I've always found that that there are basics that I know very well but don't actually apply until I've approached it in a new fashion.
Anyway BLAH BLAH BLAH--
Sorry. I'm rambling. Might be the coffee.
What my post was supposed to be about was: How do you guys approach something you do periodically?
--Be it a forum you visit every day or a habit you have or work you always do---
I'm not so concerned about concocting a new layout for my websites. Now that I'm catching my blog up this weekend, I'm more curious as to what approaches you guys use to do something you schedule for yourself daily or weekly. I want to be able to write in my blog almost every night if I want to so I'm thinking of setting a certain time up in the day the way I do when I talk online late at night every night of every day.
(This question is particularly aimed for people like Marie who has worked on comics and knows the pain of a weekly deadline.)
I know the answer is as simple as "well then take an hour every day". But we all know its never as easy as that so I want to know if anyone does anything specific C:
