Here’s four things you can do straight away to give your project a creative boost.
- Write down the brief. What are you trying to do? Who are you serving?
- Write as many things as you can about the project in a big piece of paper. I recommend using the following three headings as prompts: Information, Questions, Ideas. Stick it on the wall near where you work.
- Talk through your ideas with someone. Ask them just to listen and not say anything until you are done.
- Try to ignore the project for a day (I bet you can’t), and then the next day, write down five new ideas that will inevitably have emerged.
