Step 1 Restate the problem in your own words. Know the goal and the overall creation you need to make.

Step 2 Do any research that needs to be done. Know the background on the company.

Step 3 Think with your pencil or mouse in your hand. Once you put your pencil or mouse down you are no longer thinking. The creativity is flowing when you keep your pencil or mouse in your hand.

Step 4 Choose your best thumbnail sketches and turn them into roughs. They help you visualize your ideas so you can see what you would really like to creat.

Step5 Chose your best rough and turn it into a comp. Now that you chose your best you can turn that into a final drive and really do your best on that one and make any changes needed.
