What do you do when your in a creative slump

[angele803]

We have all heard about writers block, but I am having designers block! What do you guys do to help spark your creativity and get out of a creative slump??? I need help!
I have made some decent graphics in the past, but everything I have made lately looks like junk!

I get that a lot xD It's like you make something really good then the next day you can't do anything ¬_¬ To be hosest i reccommend hand drawing, that always sparks ideas off for me. Or you could just design a lot of work and just wait for your block to go.

What do you do when your in a creative slump

Step 1: Stop what ever you are doing
Step 2: Try to find something else to do, another unrelated project that you are passionate about.
Step 3: Do not go back to the original project until you have fresh ideas, maybe even up to 3, 4 days or even a week!

Take a few days off and then come back and review a few sites to inspire me

Gotta agree. Remove yourself from the designing. Forcing it creates anxiety and frustration. When you least expect it, you will have an idea pop into your head triggered by something totally not related. Good luck!
