During COVID-19 accessing workshops and materials has been difficult and has disrupted the way a designer can work. The many digital design softwares have saved the designing community by giving them new ways to create while being stuck at home.
Although, being stuck at home has allowed us to return to the beginning of the design process, sketching. Sketching is so important in the initial stages, brainstorming any form of ideas to help choose a direction to expand upon. Hand sketching is authentic, original and full of personality.
A lesson to be learnt, be open minded about the new methods of working as they may introduce you to a more creative and exciting way of working. Continue to explore and have fun with design while pushing the boundaries. The possibilities are endless.
