Someone once said, "Practice makes perfect". While that statement might not be completely true, I do believe that practice makes you better. That is why in this blog post, I would like to propose something to every designer: Why not try to design something every day for one year?
Actors rehearse their lines until they learn them perfectly. Musicians practice their songs until every note is just right. Athletes practice their particular sport so they can excel. As designers, why can’t we do the same? Ask any successful designer in the community about how they have succeeded and they will attribute much of their success to practice. I challenge you today to design something daily. Take fifteen to twenty minutes that you would normally use to surf the Web today and devote it to designing something.
Most of you are probably thinking that I am out of my mind for proposing this. How can you, as a designer working either for a company or for yourself, find the time to design something daily? More importantly, how will I come up with design ideas for a whole year’s worth of projects? Well, to answer those questions, here are some practical tips.

Yay! No more flood!
Daily365 is here
And finally 27 days, 27 works here on deviantART. Starting today I'll upload on my blog and here also. That way if I get lazy you can just yell at me :lol:
Once again, sorry for the flood of works :giggle:

Did you ask for 20 works?
Everyday DZN here on deviantART
So like I said I started doing this whole thing design something everyday for one year. Until now, things are going well. I was going to submit some stuff from college here, but then why not submit my everyday works too? Make a folder just for that! So prepare for some flood, some random stuff, some cool stuff, some ugly stuff, some crazy stuff, well just be prepared! :lol:
Everyday DZN
Ideas, ideas, ideas...
Now that I don't have to worry about college anymore I got some extra time. Some of you might remember that I had an idea for a project here on deviantART. Well, this was before the groups came up. And
Sick and Everyday Design!
Atchim
In case you're wondering where I've been: bed! :sleep:
My brother and I got sick almost at the same time (I think it was him who got me!), but I actually don't mind. The weather is really crap, specially today. I just see rain and rain everytime I look at the window.
Daily 365
Remember my news article? Well like I said I took the challenge!
From day 1 to yesterday, I've been doing some fast works! Please tell me if you're doing it too ;)
Here's my blog: Everyday DZN
If you go there, tell me what you think! Please! :aww: And also tell me if you have an account on tumblr :dance:
Well until I'm better, I'll just go back to my warm
Happy New Year!
A very happy new year for all
It's maybe a bit late to wish a happy new year, but I just got the time now. :lol:
My new year's eve was kinda sad, but I hope better days come. How was yours?
Do you have any resolutions for 2010?
If not, check this out: http://moninavelarde.com/newyears/
One blog, one challenge
So like I posted on my previous news article, I'll be doing one design every day! I created the blog a week ago, but now you can check the number one design (don't get too excited, it's really nothing special).
So here it is Daily DZN! Nothing special, but if you also want to do this I think tumblr is a great choice! I saw Julie&J
