@jsweddingplans Honestly same. Why does it seem all projects are due the week after break?

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

Back to the grind tomorrow, Monday morning bright and early.

Funny part, I only took one day off Thanksgiving day.

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

Looking at what others deem my best design compared to my most recent designs my recent is a stronger version of those designs. Improvement doesn't mean drastic changes

Christmas list idea:
Top 3 subscription software you use for creating
Santa has to pay the subscription for 6 months

Thanksgiving is over, who has their houses decorated?

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

What is better:
Monochromatic or complimentary

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

The holidays are a time when people tend to ignore how they feel. As a creative we have to be in tune with our mental health.

Take time for you, and listen when your body tells you to stop.

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

I'm off twitter for the rest of the day. Now it's time for family.

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

On days where it is super busy like the holiday season, remember to take time for you. How I do this is by reading.

Read this in some down time you find to create more time for you

Do you celebrate with immediate family or extended family too?

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

Has anyone created a Thanksgiving design to celebrate and explore a new technique?

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

I don't work for perfection I work for enough.

Perfection isn't real, but creating something to be enough is real.

Instead of drawing rectangles, I have to write on them this week

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

What's more important:
Creating something you believe in
Believing in something you can't create

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

I'd rather design than write a paper, but every day isn't a design day. Some days our creative energy has to be spent doing other creative things instead

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

How to know when I'm stressed...I stop and take pictures of everything.

I do this because it makes me think about perspective, forces me to slow down, and makes me breathe so I can hold the shot steady.
This was taken on my way to an interview.

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]

Who takes the whole week off for Thanksgiving?

I don't just because classes aren't happening I am always drawing rectangles and writing papers!

[Alyssa Schwarz @usgraphdesigner]
