About this project
“Master Your Creative Life” is an illustrated training for creative muscles that supports the practical development of artists and designers with problems in their work.
Abstract
Constant doubt about one’s own creative work, the fear of the blank page, and the impression of having to compete with other people working in art and design. These different aspects influence the way of working of visual designers in an undesirable way. I would like to intervene in this situation with a system of solution strategies and a visual training. The result is an illustrated solution in the form of a blog, a social media presence, and a digital workout that can help artists and designers in their creative work.

Content of this work
The work contains three parts: a digital workout, a blog with a shop, and a social media presence.
The digital workout “Master your Creative Life” is a program for visual designers who have problems during their creative work. With different workouts inspired by typical muscle building and e-learning programs, users can get a grip on their own problems. Including a possibility for feedback on their own work and personal challenges with which new habits can be learned. The workout uses visual communication and behavior change design to support the change process of visual designers.
“Improve your Creative Life” is an illustrated iterative blog that aims to help visual designers with problems during their creative work. Weekly articles offer ideas and ways to help on various topics, which provide readers with different solutions to their problems. The integrated store functions as a way to deliver physical products to visual designers to support their change process along with the virtual methods of the blog articles. This blog with a shop is the focal point of this design intervention.
The social media presence serves to promote the blog and the digital workout, and also acts as a way to get in touch with different designers and artists who need this design intervention.
