Nick Pugh-Originality in design


I have seen a lot of design-drawing-sketching video tutorials, yet none were actually useful, the only thing they would leave behind was a frustration that you do not have a born talent as they do, as most of the videos would turn into a demonstration of how great they were. Originality in design was the only video that actually made sense and in which you had the feeling of "behind the scene" of the common demonstration that the others complied with. Nick Pugh narrates and demonstrates they way in which he deals with a common problem that creative’s deal with, which is the feeling that everything has been done, and even that whichever idea you would have actually comes from your collective memory which has stored previous designs, paintings, graphics etc which you liked. He developed a method in which he would scribble with both hands curves, straight lines, angles, combination of both in order to release your mind of collective memory influences, and your usual drawing style to create outlines from which you could create totally new designs.
