Realizing an attractive vision is never an easy task; and the more exciting and rare your mission is, the more treacherous and confusing the path becomes.

- Let your inner critic and your inner artist work effectively together

- Polish the finest details, without losing focus on the big picture

GO MAKE is the 4rd in a 5 courses program called GO CREATE - a complete guide to the universal creative process. You can take GO MAKE as a standalone course, or take the entire program for a fully integrated creative working method.
Like with all GO CREATE courses, I've made an effort to fit everything into a mean and lean 60 minutes course. Take the course now, and in just one short hour you'll have the keys to:
- Higher quality work AND less frustration - already on your next project!
- Better planning, better time estimation, and better ways of dealing with short deadlines.
- Extreme creative confidence and control in your MAKE phase.
One last thing: the course include some extra materials – more examples, interesting links and some fun exercises. I encourage you to do the exercises. My experience as a teacher shows me clearly, that the ones who make it are always the ones who DO THE EXERCISES.
Join the course, fasten your seat-belt, and GO MAKE your best work ever.
Who this course is for:
- Creatives struggling with perfectionism and harsh self-criticism.
- Writers, artists, web designers, game designers, animators, architects, interior designers, in short - anyone who's doing serious creative work.
- Anyone looking to have more control over his/her MAKE process.
- Leads who seek to improve their team's process and confidence.
- Teachers seeking to help their students work more professionally.
Instructor
For the last decade, I've been studying the creative process. Not as a scholar, but as a professional creative striving for more clarity and confidence, less anxiety and fear of failure.
My book, Workflow: A Practical Guide to the Creative process (Publised by CRC Press, AKA Focal Press) is loosely based on the video courses published here on Udemy. It came out March 2018 an is available on Amazon around the world.
My 20 years career includes: storyboards for features (The Secret Life of Pets) and TV shows (Emmy awarded Shaun the Sheep), animation on feature films (Asterix and the Vikings) and computer games (Hitman), and managing and supervising creative teams (Head of story on My Little Pony - The Movie). I also wrote a couple of instructional books, illustrated children books, designed apps (AppSpace for android).
I have been giving lectures and courses in animation, storyboarding, design and the creative process since 2001.
