Stress

Stress and anxiety are both massive parts of a creative career, both are natural and there are methods to be able to minimise the levels of stress involved. Stress within the industry comes a lot from competition, everyone seems to be competing with having the newest and freshest ideas. Within uni stress can come with having too many deadlines and an intensive course with multiple modules running at the same time. Stress can also stem from desire of wanting to be 'good enough', because everyone develops at different rates and this can make an individual feel as if they are working at a non satisfactory way.

There are many techniques to help yourself de-stress and relax the mind. Without distressing and taking time away from the studio to focus, you will burn out, this can lead to creative block and a loathing towards design.



To begin identifying how we would deal with these stresses to not let them build up and interfere with our work and studies we began identifying

1. What negative thought have you had today?

2. What scares you?
3. What stresses you out?
4. How do you de-stress?

As once we know these we could begin to think how could you deal with the stress that they bring. To do so, we all wrote out on slips of paper and presented them on a table together, therefore no one knew who’s slips of paper were who’s.
















From this we were asked to select three of our favourite quotes from each of the sections, with our 12 quotes, we were challenged to put together a Haiku poem. Haiku rules being 1st line - 5 syllables, 2nd line - 7 syllables, 3rd line - 5 syllables.

Haiku attempt:

Another deadline, Shit I forgot about blogs, It’s not gonna be great.
