Push Boundaries
August 22, 2011
The best designers push the boundaries on what’s acceptable, they take chances.
Inside the world of graphic design it is easy to get lost in the crowd, play it safe and just do what everybody else is doing. But why should you want to limit yourself and your creativity to something which has been done repeatedly by others before you? Are you a recycling plant?
Strive to be different, strive to stand out! When people speak of you and your work there should be a little excitement attached to it. Even amongst graphic artists you should be able to elicit some sort of reaction other than “Oh, he’s aiight”.
In a time like this where everybody who gets a copy of Photoshop suddenly becomes a graphic designer, ensure that you don’t get lost in that crowd.
My next post will be about how I strive stand out in this cut throat field [yes my own personal experience].
Granted I may not yet be the best, but I’m working on getting there one day.
Keep Thinking
August 21, 2011
Sounds simple doesn’t it? It is but many people keep their mind occupied with negativity instead of finding time to relax, cut out all distraction and just think. This can actually be the difference between becoming a success and being a repeated failure.
You should always be making room in your mind for new ideas by focusing your thoughts and whenever you have any that really stand out you should save these ideas by putting it in a journal, sending yourself an email, or voicemail or be like those persons you see in the movies and use a recorder. Personally I like to use the notes in my phone and then transfer them to my USB later.
It is very important that you capture these ideas so you can check up on them later when you need to develop them.

Below is day 26 in our month long series of inspirational posts on the ’31 Major Causes of failure’ brought to you by El Maèstro Designs.
Possession of Power That Was Not Acquired Through Self Effort
If you didn’t have to work for it, then why do you think that you will be allowed to reap and keep the benefits of success. Sons and daughters of wealthy men and women and winners of lotteries fall under this category.
Quick riches are way more dangerous than poverty.

Inability to Cooperate With Others.
More people lose their positions and also major opportunities in their life, because they cannot cooperate with others. This is a fault which no businessman or leader will tolerate.

Intemperance
Another way to say you over-indulge. If you are one who doesn’t practice a little self control as it relates to your indulgence in food, strong drink and sexual activities then you should also be aware of the fact that these habits are essentially fatal to your success.

Intolerance
If you have a closed mind towards anything at all, chances are you might not experience success. If you are intolerant that simply means that you no longer acquire knowledge.
The most “damaging forms of intolerance are those connected with religious, racial, and political differences of opinion”. Check yourself, because these are very common indeed and could be holding you back without you knowing.

Lack of Enthusiasm
If you are not enthusiastic then you cannot be very convincing. It is also worthy of note that the person who has enthusiasm is able to join and is welcome into any group.

Indiscriminate Spending
If you have over the years cultivated this bad habit, you should know you are one of your biggest hindrances to your success. If you are a spendthrift then you cannot succeed. You should get into the habit of systematically saving a specific percentage of your income in the bank.
Having money in the bank leaves you with a little courage when you are bargaining for the sale of personal services. Plus it doesn’t hurt to know that you have a little cushion to fall back on.

Lack of Concentration of Effort
If you are unable to concentrate and remain focused on any goal/career/objective, how in the world do you expect success to come your way? You should choose one, and concentrate your efforts on successfully achieving that one definite aim.
