Thoughts on design

Just like writing, I believe design requires inspiration-whether in ideation or execution. When inspiration strikes, ideas flow endlessly. Conversely, in its absence, my output is minimal. Similarly, like a stage performance, after reaching a peak state in design - through bursts of continuous output or design presentations - I often fall into an emotional low of exhaustion, where I don't want to do anything but empty my mind.

正如写作,我相信设计是需要灵感的,不管是创意/构思,还是执行。灵感来了,文思泉涌。反过来,缺少灵感的时候,我的产出很少。又如舞台表演,设计的高峰状态之后(如:连续的产出,设计演示等),我会陷入一种精疲力竭的情绪低谷,什么都不想做,只想要放空。
