I Want To Be a Designer, Gosh Darnit!

I want more than anything to be a graphic designer. But, I feel like I constantly have an artist's block. I have all of these great ideas of things I want to design....but when I try, I just sit and stare at my computer screen, not knowing where to begin.

This makes me extremely nervous. There are so many people in my class that design things in their spare time and they look really awesome. I feel like even though I study and read about graphic design to try and be ahead of the game, really I need to be using my computer rather than having my nose stuck in a book. So......from now on, I want to try and design one thing a week. I'm not saying that it's going to be super fabulous, but I think just simply trying and working my way through the programs will help. I'm just such a perfectionist and I'm terrified of failure, that sometimes it's hard to just start designing while not really knowing how to do something.

So, here goes....I'm pulling out my moleskine notebook.....now!
