1) Don't reinvent the wheel for the sake of being different: There's a reason for most design rules beyond taste and opinion. If something is tried and true, and it works, don't change it without a very good reason. 2) Start with good idea: Polishing a bad design will only go so far. It takes dozens bad ideas to come up with a one good one. Don't fall in love with your design only to have to justify it to your client. Be willing to throw ideas out and restart. 3) Brainstorm your ideas: Share your initial designs ideas. Even if you don't use any of the input, just talking about the options and explaining your work will spark new directions for you. Know your own feelings, the reasons why you did something, about the design and be clear with yourself about what works for you and what doesn't.

Oversized heads are normally used by cartoonists to direct the attention of readers to important facial expressions of characters such as a smile, a sneer, a squint, anger etc. Symbols are also used as shortcuts by cartoonists to help them narrate their stories.
