My working hypothesis about the pain and difficulty of this whole broadside-design process is that creating visual stuff is a structured creative process kind of like writing, where you need to learn—or be trained in—the techniques and modes of thought involved to get to the point where you can effectively just turn your brain on and start making something. I can write tolerably well, but I clearly remember just how hard it was to learn, how many hours my dad spent working with me on it, and how noticeably my skills developed through endless revisions for school. Hopefully there is a similar process ahead of me here.
I really wish I had had any meaningful involvement with art before, so I could at least have an idea whether this is true. It certainly could be that it's more like programming, where if you don't have the true aptitude you're wasting your time, and if you do have it you realize that pretty quickly. I hope not, though.
