I know for sure that I have trouble 'closing the book.' In fact, in developing Humble Pied, I set a personal goal to stick with one design and push it through until the end. Talk about a weekend project! Great stuff! Eric,

In my experience with working at an ad agency, I've had designers on larger projects that were unable to commit to final designs. I agree with you that struggling with a design is healthy, but I feel that some designers let this take over the whole process. While this is a strength to some, its a huge weakness for others. Even weeks into the development process, they still want to make changes to their designs, and as im sure you're aware, its no easy task once its built out in HTML/CSS. Working with deadlines is great, but even so, my tip to them would be to 'close the book' and move on to the next project. A lot of people have trouble doing that. Great stuff Nick, thanks for the tip.

Deadlines are what stop the design process. Usually the client needs it or it's time to start a new project. Always set a deadline, even with personal projects. If you don't they will never get finished. Here is more on deadlines. http://makecoolshit.com/how-to-finish-your-personal-projects-set-a-deadline/ Great question!

How do you know when to stop working on a project or a design, if you know it can always be better? Nick, a follow-up question for you, then.

I feel like this a lot lately. It's cool to see that it can have a positive effect over as a designer. On my current project: http://www.mographtv.com, I feel like I'm never satisfied. I just keep tweaking and creating. Thanks for the insight! Great video! I feel like this a lot lately. It’s cool to see that it can have a positive effect over as a designer.
