Writer's block
Sjukt bra artikel: http://blog.iso50.com/2010/02/10/overcoming-creative-block/
... massa proffessionella inom det kreativa som uttalar sig om hur de håller sig kreativa utan att sega ner ("stuck in a rut")[också en låttitel av glamrockbandet the Darkness]
Min favorit var Khoi Vinh, grafisk redaktör på N-Y Times:
"Lots of reading and lots of sketching. The reading part is a long-term strategy: constantly consuming ideas, influences, details, angles, metaphors, symbols, etc. and storing them in the back of your brain so that later on — sometimes much later on — you have a rich catalog of starting points to draw upon. The sketching is a way to activate all of that background information when faced with a problem in the present: the act of drawing, of giving visual expression to many different ideas in short order helps you sort through all of those random elements and to make unexpected connections between them. The key is to sketch quickly, without getting caught up in the execution or technique, that way you stay in the realm of content, without getting bogged down in form."
Låter som en grymt effektiv kille, och det måste man nog vara när man är sektionschef(yah?) på typ världens mest kända tidning.
Riktigt bra var Googles grafiske lille boss Ji Lee också:
..."• Take long showers. Somehow I can think little differently while I’m in the shower. It washes away my old thoughts and I feel renewed." ...
Hur många galet briljanta idéer har jag inte fått när jag duschat? Grym sanning.
