State of Creativity













Creative people complaining they are not getting enough inspiration and time to be more creative at work? It is well known that fountain of creativity does not flow continuously like any other job skill we acquire and the best people with creative minds experience burn out over a period of time and our brains need constant recharge to get back in the groove.

Well in my opinion being connected to digital world these days our mind gets surrounded by stuff all around so much that it sometimes becomes difficult to steer through this noise and regain creativity zen, also creative teams at workplace have being working with more teams than before which indirectly brings higher external control in what that team is supposed to do and how, which sometimes limits the very basic freedom of team members involved in creative process to bring ideas to table.

Here's an infographic which explains this state of creativity.

Stunning special effects set design

It's amazing to see a small piece of set designed to create an illusion of larger than life scene that transforms the landscape of a scene in movies, photography etc. Creating such surreal takes so much effort in detailing stuff that leaves a lasting impression on our minds.

Check out work of one such artist Matthew Albanese, a series of pictures which showcase 15 such set designs made by him resembling superior art work, link here
