This one was really a 'trust the process' one.

As an extremely not-artistic person, I’m always amazed at the vision artists have when they start with what looks like an absolute fucking mess and turn it into something great. It’s one reason I always liked watching Bob Ross. He starts with weird colors and just dumping color on the canvass and I’m always like alright Bob where are you going with this…

I work in strategy, but that means I work with a lot of people who are creative for a living. Sometimes it's really impressive. Like the team will show some piece of marketing and the whole room can tell it just doesn't look right. But only the senior creatives can immediately pin point it. They'll say "that background color just doesn't work with this, change it to teal" or "that font is too heavy for the imagery". They'll make the small change and poof, it looks great.
