Coming from an age when creative brainstorming happened first on pen and paper. The students of today jump right to illustrator or photoshop and start creating “finished” works of art. Becoming desensitized to the creative process and what is involved with coming up with a unique concept. Locking themselves down to what they know how to create comfortably on the computer. Pencils up students. The success of the finished product is only as good as the concept. If you are the most technically sound designer there is but haven’t harnessed your process for coming up with solutions, you will just be an average designer. If you are a free thinking, tactile creator that hashes out their concepts on paper first, you have the potential for greatness.

What do you think design world? Is the art of pen and paper dead?

Peace.
