Creative Over-Thinking

I posted some thoughts recently on the Viget blog about creativity versus constraint and having improper measures for successful web designs. The article offers some ideas for staying properly oriented and suggests useful ways to prevent over-thinking.

Among the suggestions are:

• Balance your desire for creativity with a desire for constraint and simplicity.
• Make achieving the client’s goals a priority over achieving your own personal aesthetic.
• Remember your users and audience and prioritize your design to meet their needs.
