The Importance of Consistency:

Consistency is important to set expectations for your clients. Imagine going to Starbucks and expecting your favorite drink to taste like you enjoy, yet the barista decides to make the drink based on their mood.

How to Produce Consistent Patterns In Your Work:

1. Pick a signature image that represents your style and builds your portfolio based on that image.

2. Put into words what you love about your work.

3. Allow other people to be different without it affecting your style.
