The creative process is a step-by-step process that designers use to follow a project to completion. This essentially consists of things like research, planning, ideation and visual thinking, refinement, production, storytelling, and locating sources of inspiration. Artists and designers may be inclined to jump into a project at times, but it's important to consider this process in advance because it's going to help you avoid potential obstacles and pitfalls in the future.
EXAMPLE
You are designing the inside of a building, and you did not budget ahead of time. You just realized that glass is too expensive for your budget. Now you're left with a partially decorated building. Or maybe you didn't realize how long painting takes, and you don't get a chance to finish it off by furnishing the design. Or maybe you just didn't take the time to plan out how something inside the building is going to be properly assembled, and now you're left with something that's not only incomplete, but improperly assembled.Having a step-by-step process can release the pressure of a project by breaking it down into multiple tasks.
The example above translates to design projects. One of the easiest, and most often made mistakes is to start the design process by going directly to the authoring software and starting a project. Understanding the process and following the correct steps will lay the groundwork for your project's success.
