Hi Everyone, Might seem like an odd question, I’m writing a Notes post about this very topic and would love some quotes from the community. Do you find that your emotions impact and help your creative process? Let me know. :)

I’m not sure I really notice my emotion when designing things…. But I do know when I’m painting something it helps when I feel overloaded/a lot on my mind because it clears my head because I normally just focus on the task

The music I’m listening to heavily effects my choices while designing or even developing, and my music choice usually changes depending on how I feel.

The only thing that really helps me create is a nice iced coffee.

P.S: Not liking the manga avatar.

Design doesn’t come natural to me but sometimes I do my best work when I’m super exhausted. My guess is it’s because the logical side of my brain slows down leaving room for the creative side to breath a little.

Don’t know if being exhausted is an emotion, but it’s certainly a state of mind :D
