    STARTING OUT STAGE

    You're a Day Star

    Let's be honest - you're not really sure what you're doing but you know you want to do it anyway. You're just starting out with your art. It's not as good as you're hoping for butit's going to get better. (For More Info Click on the +)
    Is This You?
    You hesitate to call yourself a professional because you haven't done anything professional-ish. And your art? You're a little insecure. Maybe a lot. Right now you copy others because you don't have a style of your own so your body of work isn't you. You feel embarrassed to even think you belong here. You're intimidated but hopeful.
    Are You a Day Star?
    Hope is a great start and every beginner is nourished by it. You understand the difference between a professional and a hobbyist but aren't afraid of the work that's going to get you there. You're ready to take control and Build Your Body of Work. 
    What Will You Work On?
    Everyone uses The 8 Creative Power Habits while building their work. In the  Starting Out Stage you'll build a Brief Board every month. It's a visual mixture of story, patterns, icons, illustration and a few other elements. Here's an example.

    Using the 8 Creative Power Habits you'll learn how to come up with original ideas based on your own experiences, not Pinterest. Another example with notes using the 8CPH.

    Example of Monthly Brief Board in Each Stage

    Here's an example of the end work of a Brief Board and how it'll be used at the different Membership stages. ​Every stage makes a version of the Brief Board using the 8 CPH to generate ideas from within.
