Designer’s block is a time period in which a designer has no idea at all. They find it hard to even come up with any form of design, most times the best thing to do to tackle it is to just go and do something else.

Some people say that it helps to go and have fun and then come back to the design after some time or days.

How do you deal with designer’s block?
 
Having so many options where inspiration is drived from will help to quickly bring out a graphics designer from a block at any particular time. This have always aided me break my block.
 
Sometimes, I take some minutes out to refreshen up or have some rest too. I normally come back feeling a bit better, starting from where I stopped with clear mind.
 
I help myself out with designer's block by doing something else totally different from graphics designing.

It makes it easier for me to recollect myself.

Reading and playing some word games help me get more inspiration. Everyone should get into activities that work for them.

AI really helps with designers block. There are times when I cannot even think of anything to design, I make use of AI to give me ideas to get me started.

This is nothing but an honest truth. The days someone have to worry about how to break through designer's block are far behind us with the use of AI. Everything have been made so much easier with AI.

That is good, but it is also necessary that you are careful to avoid entering the trap where you copy everything that Ai gives without adding your input which is the issue that most creative are having at the moment.

Word games is a high boost to clear blocks, it's an inspiration to clear your head and mind. It works for me too unless I am not interested in playing the game.
 
The best way I use to handle designer’s block is by doing another thing that's not related to graphics design completely. Doing this helps to free my clogged mind to start working afresh again.

This really does a lot of wonders. It is just that if one is not disciplined, you can get carried away with it and neglect what you do completely.
 
Graphics designers block usually kicks in whenever you are trying to do too much than your brain can take at any particular point in time.

This is why I try as much as possible not to over burn myself with so many jobs so that I don't struggle with how to move forward with any particular job.
 
It is always very important to have where you draw inspiration from as a graphic designer. I believe that it helps a lot whenever a graphic designer is having designer's block. When you go back to your source of inspiration, it is going to put things right once again for you.
 
Personally from my experience, I believe that taking a break is the best way to handle designer's block. You are having this block cos the mind is clogged and cannot function effectively again. So, when a break is taken, it's going to help to clear the head.
