But I also hesitate to self-edit TOO much, because every once in awhile someone else (Creative Director, partner) will see that spark of brilliance in your idea that you somehow missed.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369128620206269695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36823163262318275.post-80293247577687657182008-06-27T17:51:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:51:00.000-04:00it's a little bit of both. sometimes i may have a ...it's a little bit of both. sometimes i may have a good idea, in the form of a line or something, but not know what to do with it until later.<BR/><BR/>i was looking through the notebooks i carry in my back pocket the other day and stumbled across the scribble "six flags over jesus."<BR/><BR/>i don't remember writing it. but that would have made one hell of a branding project.asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300166244738324681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36823163262318275.post-32606023112316929122008-06-27T11:55:00.000-04:002008-06-27T11:55:00.000-04:00Usually when I start punching the air uncontrollab...Usually when I start punching the air uncontrollably and get really excited as soon as the idea forms, I know it's great. Not everyone else recognizes its brilliance as readily/ever.
