Nothing

A HUNDRED PRACTICAL SNIPPETS TO WAKE YOUR CREATIVE BRAIN. DO THE EXPERIMENT. DISCOVER, CREATE AND BREAK.

Since we, the Kreatives, are known for our creativity, and mastering numerous creative crafts, we receive endless questions throughout the year:

"How do you do it?",
"Where do good ideas come from?"
and the most important:
"Can I learn to be (more) creative?"

we're gifting you some answers.

Over the last months, our entire team went on a quest for you to understand the secret sauce, the magic tricks, and the sacred rituals that give us the most creative ideas. We're lifting the curtains to our process for the first time in our history. And we didn't stop there – we have collected our 100 best-of activities to practice your creative skills and flex your imagination muscles.

So the answer is yes: YOU are a brilliant creative mind. Have fun exploring the content we made for you, and keep in mind that

Process

We analyzed 1000s of projects, from fun little personal home-improvement shenanigans to complex strategy design, and identified a 3-step process pattern. Guess what? It holds true across all our disciplines, whether using a camera, a pen, or just your mind. Please note that the 3-step process is not linear; picture it as a beautiful tango — it's up to you how many steps you take, and the more you practice, the more fluid the dance.

It is essential to forget about everything you know. Step back. See, observe, unpack, learn everything possible about your topic, get obsessed, and imagine what could be. Don't be afraid to use your feeling antennas: Empathy is key for yourself and the people you're creating for.

Do it. Try it. Just start. Put it on paper. Associate. Start somewhere. Try again. And try harder. Squeeze it. Stretch it. Mold it. Create variations. As many as you can.

The moment you think you got somewhere, break it. Challenge it. Challenge yourself. Break your habits. Try again. Start from scratch. Reinvent the wheel. Ask better questions. Because, in the end, nothing is written in stone.
