A Graphic Designer’s Playlist for Creative Block

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LUC chapter.

As a young graphic designer, nothing is more frustrating than being faced with a creativity block. That seemingly solid wall can be unmovable for such an extended period of time, it’s one of the most frustrating parts of being a creative person. Thankfully, music has always been such an enormous source of inspiration for me. I’ve put together a playlist that helps me through these blocks, and I’m hoping that it can (just maybe) help you through yours, too.
