i disagree with what nairn said and go with what the idealistic youngster said.
if im not being creative in some way then i get bored stupid.
i find myself coming up with random ideas that i WISH i had the spare time / knowledge / skills to execute all the time.
these ideas usually pop into my head from nowhere when i leat expect them.
this boy always has a notepad beside him at bedtime cos thats when random ideas usually pop into my head - during insomnia hours.i'd just always presumed that all creatives had this sort of shit happen to them.
does that make me a 'better creative' then? :P

(Mar 28 06, 04:17)I was half expecting it, hoping even. I wanted to find out how everyone seems to be able to afford to do all that stuff when I can barely pay the council tax bill and mortgage.

I hate the word creative when used to describe a person. Makes them sound like a right cunt. Calling yourself one is worse. Adding better to the front of it is just off the fucking scale.
I'm booking a train now to come up to Edinburgh and put you out of your misery you fucking bawsack.

lots of ideas with no exectuion is not the same as being creative.

*puts dooks up*
im ready ya bas!i was meaning it jokingly but serious at the same time.
i really am NEVER lost for any inspiration or creativeness.
ok sometimes a bit of design block if its something at hand, but then theres always other stuff to move onto and concentrate on, no?

having random ideas is one thing, distilling them into something worthwhile and vital is something else, unless your bag is just more of the same style led cosmetics.
I think it true that once you get over the hurdle of starting something, then things are easy and the next idea comes easily, so my advice would be just to get on with something and see where it leads, I'm terrible for scrutinising an idea to death and then doing nothing about it, I should take my own advice.

ok guys, we gotta get in more creative

yeah i hear what you're saying about coming up with loads of ideas but not executing some of them.
some of mines are executed.others arent executed due to my technical abilities on the html side of things.
i definitely thing that scrutinising ideas is the surefire way to lose the simplicity of something.
at college i used to always get a bollocking for not doing sketchbooks (thats something you are meant to have as they make up so much of your mark - to show your thinking and leading up to an idea).
ive always found that when i erad a brief that an idea will pop into my head or even a snippit of an idea. and no matter how many other routes i go down or however many alternatives i try, i'll always end up going back to that idea that was in my head first as it'll be the strongest.
