Fym, the founder, creative director, and artist of My Movie, is old school. He still writes new graphic designer briefs on paper with a pen, even though most people nowadays type and draw on their computers, tablets, or other electronic devices. But if you're like Fym, you may find it easier to brainstorm and sketch ideas on paper rather than on a screen. That's because paper is a more tactile medium that allows for freer movement and expression. It can also be helpful to have a physical record of your ideas, which can be difficult to keep track of on a screen. So next time you're feeling stuck, give paper and pen a try. You might be surprised at how much easier it is to get your ideas down.
