29 Ways To Stay Creative

29 Ways To Stay Creative

It is so true, we creatives love our lists and we tend to love things like coffee, singing in the shower, breaking rules, taking risks, and going somewhere now. We also love working with others, discussing our ideas with like-minded people, and collaborating. All too often my students feel their ideas are too precious to share or get feedback on, they don't want to present it too early in a project for fear of someone copying and they are hesitant to approach others and collaborate.

This is a reminder for them, for young designers, and for creative entrepreneurs alike - stay as creative as you possibly can and have fun with it!!
