Digital Illustration Creativity Blog Post 4
This week, I did a creative exercise found in the book "CAFFEINE FOR THE CREATIVE MIND" by Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield. The exercise is on page 44.
Instructions: "What Day Is It?"
The week of seven days was adopted in Rome somewhere about 400 A.D. and spread into Europe, but it had been recognized long before that in the East. The names of each of the days are generally associated with Roman mythology.
It's time they received an updated, contemporary change.
Your task is to rename the days of the week to be more modern.
They can all be associated with a theme, or they can all have different meanings. They can be as long or as short as you like, but they all must end with the suffix "-day,' like they do now.
Renaming the Days of the Week Using a Planets Theme
- Monday = Mercuriday -- A fast-paced day inspired by Mercury, the swiftest planet, perfect for tackling tasks with speed and efficiency.
- Tuesday = Venusday -- A day of love, creativity, and self-care, influenced by Venus, the planet of beauty and harmony.
- Wednesday = Earthday -- A time for grounding, sustainability, and appreciation for nature, dedicated to our home planet, Earth.
- Thursday = Marsday -- A bold and energetic day, channeling the warrior spirit of Mars, ideal for productivity and action.
- Friday = Jupiterday -- A day for growth, wisdom, and expansion, inspired by Jupiter, the giant planet of knowledge and abundance.
- Saturday = Saturnday -- A day for discipline, structure, and reflection, honoring Saturn, the ruler of time and responsibility.
- Sunday = Neptunday -- A dreamy and imaginative day, influenced by Neptune, the planet of intuition, creativity, and relaxation.
Until next time,
Phil
