Creativity Exercise - week 2

 

Welcome back y’all! To the weekly creativity blog! We’re back at it again with another cool entry, and like always, I’ve got something fun and weird to talk about today. This week’s been a mix of chaos and chill, but even with all the running around, I still found time to sit down and make something that really got my brain going.

Usually I’m doing these exercises with my siblings or some close friends ,But with some research I found a pretty cool concept for an exercise that I found online. And with my research I came to a concept that I pretty much liked and would be calling it the “Double Duty Challenge.” The whole idea is to create one object that serves two totally different purposes. That’s it. But trust me, it’s not as easy as it sounds. You gotta stretch your imagination just enough to make something that could actually exist, but still sounds wild enough to turn heads. Think of stuff like:

  • A hoodie that doubles as a backpack

  • A spoon that works as a mini fan

  • A pen that transforms into a flashlight for late-night writing sprees

  • A water bottle that turns into a dumbbell for travel workouts

  • A pair of headphones that pop open into a tiny umbrella

  • A notebook with detachable sticky notes that double as phone stands

  • A scarf that unzips into a picnic blanket

  • A ring that holds a USB drive

  • A phone case with built-in floss (weirdly helpful?)

  • A coffee mug that doubles as a plant pot once it's cracked or chipped

So yeah, if you ever hit a creative block or just want something chill but clever to mess around with, I highly recommend giving this a try. And like always I wish you guys have as much fun as I did, and ill see you guys. On the next one! 👋

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

 Instructions 1 - Based upon the jobs you looked at and the requested skills of each, identify a piece you have previously created that you could improve to show you possess the skills being requested, or create a new project to show that you have the skills the employer is looking for. 2 - Create a blog post about this project: who is the audience, what is the message, and what are you hoping to accomplish with the piece, what design decisions did you make, and why did you make each one? 3 - Add the piece to your online Portfolio Content            Hello again! Welcome back to a new week and a new piece that will be added to my collection of projects that are going to end up in my portfolio. Today's post will revolve around a job position that I found very recently that I wanted to give a try, and see if I can create a piece around. So let's get our Social Media fingers on and create this thing.      Humble Beginnings  To star...

Or B - Recreate a poster or Design that you have previously done, showing your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. 2- Create a detailed blog post that describes your visual choices and how you applied what you learned in Chapters 1-4 to make this poster tell a story.  Poster  For this project, I had the chance to create a poster of a movement, cause, or event of my liking. Or to recreate an old project of mine. At first I wanted to try and redefine and recreate one of my old projects, but looking back I don't really have any impactful type of creations..... But that's no worry. The image you see is made after a mental awareness movement. Since Men's Mental Awareness month recently passed past I wanted to try and give it a go with an organiza...
