Do you call yourself creative?

I took a small break to collect myself. That’s only part of the story. The other part of the story is that I went through a pretty stressful week before that and for some reason I continued trying to keep up on my self-imposed writing frequency.  Anyway I figured I should regroup myself. Well I’m regrouped.

I ask that question (The one in the subject line) because I work around people who say that all the time “I’m not creative so can you come up with something.”  I don’t think that’s their fault. Here is what I think, creatives have long ridiculed the so called non-creative so much that they feel that their opinion doesn’t matter.  I am here to apologize to anyone who’s been told “you’re not a designer or you’re not creative” You can be the ultimate creative in the business world and the only place your stuff will show up is in communication arts magazine and be the most uncreative (hope that’s a word)  person and have a product line like the snuggie and have it take off.  You never know where inspiration will take you. We also do create for the non-creative world. If they can’t understand it what good is it? I could be wrong on this part. As I wrote that I questioned myself.

Here are three things

1. Inspiration can come from anyone or anything

2. Being creative shouldn’t have rules

3. Design is in everything.

Have a good Monday.
