How To Generate A Lot Of Creative Ideas Quickly.

How often do you watch something twice that you have seen online?

It doesn't happen often for me. In fact, I often have a hard time finishing a video on YouTube that I'm interested in, because there's something on the right-hand side - in the recommended viewing column - that grabs my attention like some kind of shiny, bright object (and yes, on YouTube, I can be quite the squirrel). Someone on Facebook posted a link to this little piece of glory just today. The online learning platform, Lynda, has issued a design challenge. They're asking a bunch of designers to take on a logo design challenge. Aaron Draplin from Draplin Design Co. (and the guy behind Field Notes - which I love) took a stab at it. In this video, he walks us through his blue-collar creative process, and it is a sight to behold. It doesn't look like Draplin ever gets blocked, and you will see - from this video - how he creates a myriad of directions from simply pushing ideas out on paper in a fast and driven way (before heading to the computer).

This is a true sight to behold...
