Burke Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:59:05 +0000 http://designorati.com/?p=1976#comment-202676 Y'know, I never thought of it as procrastination, but I employ this technique constantly. Design is problem solving much more so than putting pencil to paper or pixel to Photoshop, so I usually work on secondary or tertiary tasks related to the project at hand--and just as often work on other projects--while tasking my subconscious to solve the design problem(s) of the first. I think consciously about it from time to time, and eventually wind up with one or more solutions, which I then test out in sketch form, and from there move on to comps and refined design. It IS positive procrastination, I just never thought of it as such. This is an excellent article and a truly great perspective on the creative process. Thanks, Bryan!
