Creativity Blog Post 2
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 can be found on page 75.
Instructions: "What's a Dot-Com? (Design Time Capsule)
Assemble a design capsule. Collect things from today that you find inspiring. Perhaps a CD cover, a font, a magazine, a photograph, a board game, a cooking recipe. Anything you want. Put it in a safe place to be opened 10 years from today."
I already have a wooden box in storage filled with items for my daughters to open after I am gone. It contains baseball cards from my youth, pictures ranging from baby pictures up until they graduated high school, old US currency, some of which my father gave me, old knives, foreign currency, and collectibles I obtained when visiting foreign countries in the U.S. Navy, recipes from my grandmother and mother. I am sure I have forgotten some other items, but that is most of it.
If I were to make a Design Time Capsule today, I would include pictures of the projects I have completed (and eventually become my portfolio). A list of the websites that the projects are on, and a link to my main Google Blogger site. A copy of the Photoshop classroom in a book cover, the Illustrator Against the Clock Professional Portfolio cover, the Premier Pro classroom in a book cover, and the After Effects classroom in a book cover. Covers of the Photoshop User Magazine that I have downloaded, and once again, copies of my grandmother's and mother's recipes. As far as CD covers go, they are not from today's time, but I could make copies of my 1980s and 1990s CDs: Poison, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Tesla, Tom Petty, Linkin Park, Kid Rock, Aerosmith, and others. I would then instruct my daughters to open after I am gone, which hopefully will be more than 10 years from today.
