I want to do something creative so I typed “something creative to do” into google search and this was in the top 10 returns. I cant help but wonder how many other people are sitting in their miniature rat cage of a dorm room all alone wishing they had something enjoyable to do. A creative idea would be great but that would mean I have to come up with an idea. Of course I could get drunk and forget about any crative impulses for a few days. But it is just a matter of time before I am back to were I a now and my bored mind says “fuckin quite layin around and do something”. So instead of stalling this inevitable circle I decided I would attempt to find an enjoyable time passer.
i am makin a magizine i need to name it
I just searched the same exact words of yours and that is how I got to your website. Try searching “Make a business card” for fun. How about “Make a comic”?
I also just typed in the EXACT same words into google. I’m either going to write stories for forums OR create signatures which i can sell. hmm. hmmmm. I think i’ll do both!
Adam and Eragon, I love it! I think it goes on to show we all try to do creative things and fail… but it won’t keep us from trying again. Hmm… sounds like a Thomas Edison quote coming on!
When I’m bored I make my own album art for my iTunes. It doesn’t sound that good, but finding images and the a font that fits really passes the time. Plus you can see your work [when it's finished] on your iPod.
Sometimes a simple activity is enough to spark creativity. You’re not starting with a blank slate… you know you’re creating album art and the song/artist probably inspires your direction.
