Doing this will offer two profound benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One, you'll develop a better understanding of and versatility with the medium.<\/p>\n

Two, you\u2019ll deepen your understanding of your personal goals and voice (vision and style).<\/p>\n

If an experiment fails to produce interesting results, you\u2019ll have proven confirmation that what you\u2019re doing is working for you. If an experiment succeeds by producing results that are exciting to you, you\u2019ll develop a new relationship with the medium and maybe even find a personal breakthrough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
