Design philosophies can be useful, but inspiration, creative strategies, and efficient work habits are what really get the job done. Designer, instructor, and author Curt Cloninger provides a multitude of strategies, tools, and practices that readers can use to inject a big dose of creativity into just about any design project. With illustrations drawn from 20th-century French philosophy, medieval manuscripts, punkrock posters, and more, Curt's innovative text introduces readers to his personal toolkit for hot-wiring the creative process. You'll learn strategies to:
* Recognize and believe in your creative powers
* Develop effective methods for evaluating your own work
* Draw inspiration from the past
* Use standard software in experimental ways, and find nonstandard applications to create new effects
* Maintain a personal design playground
* Mine your subconscious with the Oblique Strategies Cards, developed by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt
* Un-stick your imagination by "blitz-designing" mock-ups
