Do it without thinking of critics

"We believe that expression should not be fade by the fear of being criticized by others. To illustrate this maxim, we created some large scale types by using only white cloths, paper and thread on natural landscapes as background."

People that walked around the city of Percé would see the whole series of images. I think the concept behind these pieces is interesting, because it's true, people shouldn't feel restricted to express themselves in fear that other people will criticise their opinion/work, afterall our expression in different ways make us who we are.

Ink Blots

(original ink blot)

(developed)

With these ink blots, I can start to make relations to objects in the world that I would have never thought of combining before.

Taking the pincers of a beetle, horns and face shape of a bull's head, these ink blots start to mean something.

Even if I don't end up using this concept, I don't see why I can't use ink blots to create the unknown. It's a bit like a word association list, but grabbing something completely out of nowhere and developing that image or idea into something you would never of thought of before.

Breaking Habits

''We were taught to memorize and take extensive notes. But memorizing takes up mental space and leads to forgetting. Especially as we start to get senior moments, organizing information in a readily accessible manner is much more important than memorizing facts. Memorizing also consumes our precious energy for creativity.''

Interesting reads on the Behance Magazine, where does our creativity come from? how can we develop it? and the more we learn other things do we leave room for creativity?

Everyday Signs

''no body ever looks at these signs''
-Stefan Sagmeister

''you stare at something, it takes you a while until you actually realise it says something different from what it normally says''
-Stefan Sagmeister

Playing with everyday signs we're used to seeing, people would view these in an unconscious state, so we just presume through it's layout and style that we already know what it means, until it's read over again.

When someone would look up at this, it would be just routine for it to be what we expect, so why not play with people's routines to show the unexpected.
