creators // salivate on this
Tuesday, 5th May 2009
This is a comment from a friend and fellow creative Chris. It was a comment, but was just so good it needed to go on the front page. It’s in response to “how to be creative:
starting from nothing… immersion in the idea or the process.
if it’s about playing with a concept, kick it around and see where it leads. look at it from every direction. get your hands around it. (i.e. What does “______” mean in this context and how can it be realized?)
if it’s is about learning a new way, play with the method. look at different but comparable examples and stretch the boundaries. ask other people, but not experts what they think could/would/should be possible (i.e. can I do this with that, here?)
and don’t be afraid to mess things up because you will.
