Ira Glass, host of This American Life, may be the golden child of radio, but his musings on the creative process apply to all disciplines. Always an inspiration, his thoughts on creative drive, the power of failing and the need for tenacity make any struggling creative feel right at home. Greatest sound bite?
"Keep working...You will be fierce. You will be a warrior."
Sigh. Now back to those renderings.

I was just thinking about this the other day! As designers we (should) know that having a good sense of taste is just as important as being able to conceive, sketch, and form our ideas. Im only 21, but I have felt, for a long time, that the level of my deliverables is no where near what I know they can be. Every time I finish a project I say that I'll do twice as much next time, but I'm always falling short it seems. When you really think about it, there is so much to do and so little time. Ira is right; produce, produce, produce, and one day you'll be the one with something to brag about. Thanks for the video!
