Essay-A Design is Never Complete.

A design is never complete.
So stop while you're ahead and say "good enough".

The ability to accept your work is one of the hardest achievements going into a multimedia world. This simple statement of mine helps pull in my knowledge and experience of lost time and headaches to help inform you that you need to accept some things just how they turn out. You don't want to be wasting time on something that won't get any better with your effort. You have to remember that time is money, and if you've ever watched gamblers you realize the greater loss in the end of those who just kept wanting more. Although, money isn't everything, you shouldn't be wasteful. It will save you heart ache in the end... and all good things come to an end.

Acceptance is always going to be the first step. Embrace what happened, and leave it in the past. It made you who you are and because of it you have learned. I've lived and I've lost that battle in a number of ways. Sometimes you have let it go, set it down, open a document and realign the margins. Just re-approach the idea as a whole. Find a different color scheme, remember your audience, and take off. A new canvas is a new opportunity. Just remember your concept. Without a subject to share or something to stand for, the idea is empty. Even if the concept was given to you in a blurry mess, stick to it, trust it, and do; there is no try.

Some losses happen in this life that are hard to take, but we still start with a clean art board. More room in the heart to start a new, and love again. Don’t lose sleep over a lost cause. Call it good enough.
