Overcoming Blank Canvas Phobia

Overcoming Blank Canvas Phobia

Cameron Moll discusses the issue of staring at a blank canvas in Photoshop, and his approach to overcoming "blankcanvasphobia" and leaping into the design process.

  1. Familiarize yourself with how others have solved the same problem you’re solving.
  2. Draw from previous work.
  3. Sketch it out
  4. Begin with a grid
  5. Begin in grayscale
  6. Start with the "core."
  7. If nothing sticks, come back later
