Creating is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little
guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the rea-
son they were able to do that was that they've had more experience or they have thought more about their
experiences than other people." Steve Jobs
In the Creative Divas Guide To Brainstorming Ideas, I talk about different techniques for coming up with new products.
This quote by Steve Jobs brings a lot to bear, every creative person has their system for bringing to life their creation. For instance stylist 'A' may need to get inspiration from looking at 10 other stylists work and juxtaposing their ideas to create her masterpiece. Stylist 'B' on the other hand may need to go and lock her self indoors for a couple of days to come up with a master piece. The point is different strokes for different people what's most important is your ability to connect dots and come up with something meaningful.
Another point worth noting is the fact that other people can't connect to dots the way you would,that's what makes you different. I believe its called your selling point.
How do you come up with inspiration before creating a product or a post or whatever it is you do?
