Due to my inexperience within the studio environment, I put together a sort of check list complete with a few inspirational images for when I'm in the studio. Hopefully this will help to stop my mind from going a little blank and help me focus at the task at hand.
I get in the studio and know what I'm after, but then get a little excited and carried away and stray from my actual first idea. I think this is also to do with having so many different ideas and wanting to get as much as possible done in such a short period of time.
