Style isn’t something you pick. It’s what’s left after you work around your limits for long enough.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Style tends to get treated as a decision made in advance, which is why choosing one so often produces something that feels borrowed. In practice it accumulates. The things you cannot do, the shortcuts you found, the preferences you kept returning to all leave consistent marks, and after enough work those marks become recognisable.

Stop trying to design it and go looking for it instead. Lay out a dozen finished pieces and find what repeats without your intending it. That repetition arrived through your limits rather than around them.
