Your hopes and dreams, as well as your perception of the world around you, come through in your work and make it unique.

Let yourself daydream sometimes... Allow spontaneous images to come and go. Capture one in a sketch. These images express connections with your inner self.

Creative expression is not just a means of getting attention, although some have approached art that way. Think of art as a way of connecting, of sharing your insights with others.

You owe it to yourself to make your creative development a top priority.

Establish an atmosphere that energizes you. Some creative people flourish in confusion; others need to be free from interruption. Many prepare themselves for work by exercising to stimulate circulation; others meditate to quiet the chatter of the outer world.

Use design as a framework to bring order out of chaos.

Unleash your creative energy and let it flow. Relish the possibilities.
