Every designer’s life revolves around creating something from nothing. This process is never straightforward, and there are constantly new difficulties and barriers to overcome, particularly when starting from scratch. In this session, I’ll try to discuss my own experience with the white paper—how I was successful sometimes in beating it, how it often beat me, and how I grew from failure. To be completely honest, I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking that I have the one solution. Instead, I just want to speak from my experience and talk about the issues I have encountered from different perspectives. I hope we can all benefit from this talk.
