Beginning is always the most difficult part of any story. There’s something absolutely terrifying about a blank screen, an unfilled page, an empty canvas - what I’m referring to is the potential. It’s a monstrous thing. The possibilities of shaping a space, adding tone and texture, can easily seduce a person; ensnaring them once they’ve given themselves over to it.

Design, like any good book, should consume a person whole. The harmony of both content and presentation are in equal parts invaluable, and the abandon experienced in making the first mark is ultimately what soothes the initial fear. Once you’ve lost yourself to any work, there’s no turning back. You can’t put down the book, and you can never staunch the creative process. Turn the page. It’s the only thing that will satisfy.
