The Spark

As day flows into night and creative sparks are loosed flaring into nothingness, one must seize those sparks and blow them into flame. Nurturing, encouraging, protecting it from the elements, in hopes that it will blaze in fury and sear the mind with it's pervasive ideas.

It is those ideas, born of flame and care, that designers must grab hold and exploit. It is the establishment of this process that must be pursued, to duplicate it again and again, that is the goal to be achieved, that is what a designer craves. Designers are more than just extensions of the tools they use, it is not enough simply to know how to use software and manipulate files. Designers must interpret a problem to the best possible solution, submitting it to the flames of creativity that it might be purified to base elements and processed into a simpler, purer form. These ideas, mixed with other ideas, create an ebb and flow that continues the process of refinement to the betterment of the solution. All having started from a spark.
