I want to share a though and ask the other photoshopers what they think about my idea.

I've found out that I can be creative in photoshop if and only if I don't care what the client wants. It's really weird, I know. My last design work was last year. I made a simple logo for a PPC program. I made it without hesitation. I didn't care what the client wanted. I just made my version and bam! He liked it a lot .

What's your secret? How can you become creative in photoshop?

To be creative, i need to not have a tight deadline... and generally need to work on photoshop at 1am -3am I do have the occasionaly burst of enthusiasm and creativity during the day though

I try to go with any ideas have, if clients don't like them I won't delete them, I'll just use them in something else. Creativity is not something you can force IMO.

I agree with you guys. Creativity isn't about deadlines, but the problem is that the clients wants us to be creative in the way they want it, not the way we are hehe...
