Be happy and set your creativity free

No matter what profession we are in, creativity is essential. Whether its coming up with ideas, convincing a client or colleague about where to go to lunch, or finding a way to make our To Do list fit into 8 hours. This is always much easier to tackle and achieve when in good spirits.

I came across this quote today, and thought it was worthy of sharing:

Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
– Tina Turner

Got one to share? We’d love to hear it. Now, go pick up a crayon and doodle for 15 minutes – you’ll feel great!

The mastery of copy writing – it never ceases to amaze me. Planet of the apps is the title of a feature in Qantas inflight mag. Nice work, wordsmith artisan person.

Judo, Hapiness & the Phoenix Society Awards

We’ve been lucky enough to work with the Phoenix Society this year, and hence were invited to their Annual Awards Ceremony held yesterday, Friday 23rd. Now I truly understand the value of recognition for effort and how receiving an award in front of 400 of your work mates can make you feel great. What a great experience it was to see.

Hearing Anthony Clarke, OAM, talk about his experiences a blind Judo World Champion was an inspiration.

Congratulations Phoenix. [sorry about the poor photo].

Quote: Innovation and a fast horse

“If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.” Henry Ford

One of the greatest challenges we have, as designers and consultants, is recommending solutions that our clients are not familiar or comfortable with. Henry Ford and Steve Jobs were masters at creating the next big thing. How do we designers pull it off?

What do some men claim to be the biggest obstacle between them and the toy of their dreams…. [sometimes we just use it as an excuse to delay a buying decision].
This cheeky move was used by a local marine & boat store.
