Where do you start to concept? For me it is on paper.
Not necessarily a moleskine or even a notebook, but seldom do my ideas start while i’m sitting in front of a blank screen. Paper and a pen are my tools of choice.
Computers just don’t give enough freedom. There’s no doodling, no writing at every angle, no fun. Computers are great for taking an idea from concept to execution but I find the constraints of a notepad or word document to work against creativity.
Do I have entire pages of ideas scratched out, with stupid scribbled beside them? Sure, but I also have some of my best ideas circled time and time again, a reminder to go with my gut.
If you currently only use a computer to generate ideas give paper a try, you might like it.
