Both lazy and stubborn

Of the many things I do at The Bridge, one of them is designing the template packages for our sermon series. Usually, I will get a smattering of info regarding the series, context, scripture associated with it, etc. Then I run with the initial idea.

I know how to do this. But I get so lazy because I have no time to do it right. Sometimes, the images provided to me pollute the design process and I always have a first draft that I hate. So consequently, one of the things I struggle with is that maybe my work sucks.

When I have a moment, I process it right. I read the associated scripture, I pray about it, I sketch out thoughts and take notes, I research ideas and images and then I prepare a piece that I am proud of and post to my Flickr account.

Am I lazy or stubborn? Because I will invariably do this process last after I am discouraged and feeling that my best work is in the past.

I am exasperating to my own creative process!
