How to Be a Creative Thinker

1. Learn something new every day. Creativity happens when you make the effort to learn or try something new.
2. Make a list. Jot down all your ideas whether it’s good or bad. Make this a habit and it can help lead you to bigger and better ideas.
3. Keep an open mind and evolve as the world evolves to keep your work interesting.
4. Say no to what doesn't work. As much as you want something to work sometimes it’s better to cut it out. Do this to help preserve your creativity.
5. Share your ideas with others. Talking about your ideas with someone else and bouncing thoughts back and forth can lead to a better solution or make the original idea even better.
6. Last but not least, my favorite tip is to let your mind run wild. Don't let anything hold you back from being creative!

Photo Shoot for a Company Newsletter

These are a few photos I took of employees that were featured in an internal newsletter for a company. The camera I had to use is funky, but with a little tweaking you can get a pretty decent shot.

Marketing Business Card

I created a business card for a fellow friend that is graduating with a bachelor of arts in marketing. These are some of the sketches I conjured up. For some reason I always find the sketching process more interesting than the final product itself. And sometimes my ideas flow so much, I end up with way to many options to choose from. Together we narrowed down the different selections and she decided on the design in the third photo. She is very happy with it!
