5 things to consider on your road to becoming a designer:

1.  DO look for inspiration everywhere and anywhere.

2.  DO trust your instincts and don't be afraid to try new things. 

3.  DO something original.  Inspiration is good, copying not so much.

4.  DON'T go opinion shopping.  Trust yourself.  Get feedback when the time is right.  But explore your ideas first, develop a lot of material and then seek guideance from trusted sources.

5.  DON'T give up.  If you love what you do, you're going to succeed.  Sometimes it takes a little longer, sometimes not, but if you're enjoying what you're doing, you can't lose.
