Elizabeth Gilbert: A new way to think about creativity

Elizabeth Gilbert is a very interesting woman. The way she talks about creativity is something that really opened my mind to think of creativity in a different way. I never really thought of creative people falling and diminishing at their own hands. Whenever I’m outside or not doing anything related to designing creativity inspiration comes out of nowhere.

Paula Scher: Great design is serious (not solemn)

I first learned about Paula Scher when I was in art school. One of my professors had mentioned her. After watching this Ted talk It really opened my eyes up about designing in a different way. Because before I thought of designing as being solemn and not serious. Also the aspect of playing while designing because that is honestly what designing can be depending on how you look at it.

Debbie Millman Creative Mornings Talk

Debbie Millman is such a wonderful woman. The speech she gives is very informative. She even gave out some great advice to recent graduates. Watching this really opened my eyes up to learning about other things besides design. Mainly the impact of being aware of whats really happening in the world can have on your work.

I really would love to attend The school of Visual Arts in New York. Sadly I failed my portfolio class by a letter grade at the art institute so I was not able to get my associates degree. Not going to let that hold me back. But anyhow enjoy the talk.
