- Choosing the right paper and properly cutting the size and shape according to the figure you want to do.
- Always need and clean.
- Every fold and pleat has to be donde with precision, that’s the reason why you need to work over a hard and smooth superface while folding the paper.
- You need to go over the pleats and folds with the nail of the thumb, they will get more definition, hence the remaining steps will be easier.
- The more careful you are while folding, the better the outcoming figure.
- You need to follow the steps in the precise order you see them.
- You cannot jump any step in the process. That’s why you always need to keep in mind your last and your next step throughout the whole process.
- You need to respect all the instruction given; for example, the way the corners should be folded, how to fold the figure, etc.
- He who has never done or has never practiced with an Origami figurine before, should start with the basic figures.
- Respecting every single rule and instruction, doing all the foldings in a neat and clean manner, the more you shall enjoy the results.

If you really want to make good origamis I can give a few advices on the type of paper you might want to use:
-Origami Paper, it’s the best you can get, but expensive.
-Gift Paper, it’s really useful, but it cannot be any type of paper, it has to be the one with a brown color on the back. Maybe the clerk at the store will think you just went bananas when asking for this, but it really exists and that’s the one you need for your Origami. Normally the back part of the wrapping paper is white.
I usually advice people to use this type of papers because they’re easily to fold and to handle. So when it comes to the folding part of the origami, the paper won’t have wrinkles all over it.
Once you have the paper part covered, you’d need to cut in these three sizes:
6″ x 6″
7″ x 7″
8″ x 8″

(An adaptation from Peter Vogt’s, “Five Signs you Should Change Your Major”.)
Give yourself a point for each question below you answer ‘yes’ to:
1. You’d rather be surfing myspace during a lecture or presentation or you can’t stop surfing during class breaks.
Let’s face it, it’s not really the teacher’s lecture that has you so bored because you’re bored our of your mind when doing homework for graphics courses as well. Maybe you’re also having a hard time convincing yourself that you should keep trying to read that textbook or project description? We both know that it’s not that you don’t like to read, but more so that you would rather be reading something else like emails and new posts on your myspace page. It doesn’t have to be this way, you know? You shouldn’t have to try so hard to find something about graphic design that you’re interested in enough to let go of the myspace and dig, really dig, into graphic design on a deeper level. Couldn’t it be that you really don’t like design as much as you’re trying to convince yourself and everyone else you do?
