At work since I don’t get the opportunity much lately to design anything, I feel very rusty when I have to.<\/p>\n
I had a few things to design this week and felt totally inadequate to do anything nice. I have now made enhancing my creativity priority number one.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday while at home sick, I focused on what I need to do. I doodled, I surfed the web for creativity, I tried to seek out inspiration. Then I turned on my DVD box set of Mad About You and that was that.<\/p>\n
For lunch on Wednesday, instead of eating lunch at my desk and surfing my BBs as I usually do, I took a notebook upstairs and ate my lunch in the cafeteria.<\/p>\n
I used the white noise of hundreds of people all talking at the same time and started a list of words that invoke creativity or inspiration for me. I ended up with over 40 words.<\/p>\n
I then was now on a roll. Lets make a small little book with each word on its own page. Using Hollace as inspiration, I now call this little book “simple point” with a big period on it. This is what Hollace called a period at one point. She likes to put a period at the end of every word.<\/p>\n
I felt the creative juices start to flow. I went back to work and designed what I needed to.<\/p>\n
To take it further, I have ordered a creative inspirational book and a hyptnosis CD on unblocking creativity. What the heck.<\/p>\n
To keep going, this weekend I am going to Barnes and Noble by myself and look for cool trick type books for Flash and Photoshop. I wanted so badly to do this last weekend but never got to it.<\/p>\n
I was obsessed on trying to find a good haircut. Now my haircut is over, it is too short but that is my fault, I told her to do it. I am driving a cute Mazda 6 while my Subaru gets fixed. What I really need to do this weekend is hang out with my camera and shoot, shoot, shoot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
