Number 7 of 61 "Visualize it Richly and Colorfully" doodles for the Index-Card-A-Day Challenge: Marker on 3"x5" card.

I'm working with 2 different themes a day and gave myself the added challenge of spending no more than 3 minutes creating each card.

The first theme is "Visualize it Richly and Colorfully". That is exactly what my business aims to do and is also a key part of creativity.

The second series is really "happy mail" to be sent to critically ill children from the following organizations: Hugs and Hope, Post Pals, Caring Bridge, and Send Kids the World.

The Index-Card-A-Day challenge is hosted by Daisy Yellow: daisyyellow.squarespace.com/icad/

Do a loony-goony dance 'cross the kitchen floor, put something silly in the world that ain't been there before.

~ Shel Silverstein

Creativity is often defined as the production of something new and useful. But a lot of times when things are new, different, or "ain't been there before", they are seen as silly.

The "silly" question is the first intimation of some totally new development.

~ Alfred Whitehead

Any creative act includes the possibility of being seen or judged to be silly. But creative people do not let this stop them. They are confident and optimistic something good will eventually come from their work.

Creative people must entertain lots of silly ideas in order to receive the occasional stroke of genius.

~ Marshall Cook

Creative thinking and brainstorming day

Venture deep into the wilderness of lost thought to the point that you physically shiver with apprehension, and there you will find creativity.

~ Carl Henegan

Creativity is often defined as the creation of something new and useful. To create something new, one must try something new. That often involves, or even requires, the creator to step outside their comfort zone a bit.

​While it is common to be somewhat apprehensive when faced with something new, highly creative people do not let any apprehension stop them. Highly creative folks enjoy taking risks, and know there's plenty to gain by trying new things.

Characters from a standardized font drawn by hand - that's it!

When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth and then we are angry at being undervalued.

~ Julia Margaret Cameron

Some say anger fuels creativity. This quote by James Russell Lowell explains why that may be:

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

Highly creative people are internally directed, with no need to impress others or maintain the status quo. They develop their own rules and standards, while rejecting the limits imposed by others and remaining optimistic about the outcome. These traits allow change to happen and are essential elements of creativity in general, and to some degree, any creative act.

Creativity is most commonly defined as the production of something new and useful. Any creative act requires a touch of the unique or an element of surprise.

This image is the last of a series of four images showing how small changes can lead to new creations.

Professional Development workshops

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

~ Lance Armstrong

Creativity requires taking some risks - careful risks. Creativity is never careless. In fact, it is often incredibly well thought- out.

Highly creative people carefully evaluate the risks they take. If the reward is greater than the worry, they know it's a risk worth taking.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

~ Bill Cosby

The more ideas you have, the more likely you are to have a good one, so think of a lot of them!

Given 5 round slabs of clay, students figured out their own sculpture.

I'm working with 2 different themes a day and gave myself the added challenge of spending no more than 3 minutes creating each card.

The first theme is "Visualize it Richly and Colorfully". That is exactly what my business aims to do and is also a key part of creativity.

The second series is really "happy mail" to be sent to critically ill children from the following organizations: Hugs and Hope, Post Pals, Caring Bridge, and Send Kids the World.

To boost creativity, look at things from many different perspectives. This gives you more information and helps you to see things more clearly.

I did some graphic recording this Saturday at The Product Summit, here in San Francisco. At the lunch break, I tweeted the completed visual from the morning. As you can see from the screenshot above, live graphic recording greatly increases engagement on social media, as well as during the event!
