A CARDSET OF 52 CREATIVE EXERCISES,
This set is for inventors-at-heart, for living-room artists and bedtime storytellers, for those whose life became too serious, and those whose jobs have turned them into efficient machines with little space for anything else…
In other words, this set is for makers and shapers of every sort whose everyday life has become rigid with routine. We developed the »Creative Starter Kit« for designers whose creative flame has to be switched on at the push of a button for their work, or has slowly dimmed with time for lack of stimulation.
This set contains 52 prompt cards to get your creative energies flowing – and each exercise lasts less than ten minutes. Whether you decide to start each week with an exercise, keep the card set at home, or place it on your desk for whenever you need a short »creative break«, anything is possible if you set your imagination free…
The »Creative Starter Kit« contains fun tools to expand your creative playground, refresh your thinking process, and escape the all-engulfing world of efficiency and productivity. Invent crazy mutations of everyday objects, visualise your kooky chains of thought or come up with funny new phrases – and turn these all into sketches, objects or words.
One thing is for sure: it will become bizarre, wacky, eccentric and maybe even a little provocative! But at the end of it all, you’ll start to see the sense through all the nonsense…
THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS
The »Creative Starter Kit« is like the cinema in your head, if you like. The prompt cards are there to give you a little nudge, to give you a change of scene, and take you out of your surroundings for just a few minutes a day. And, luckily for you: this cinema is always open and admission is free.
You need nothing more than a bunch of pens, and occasionally some basic handicraft materials (scissors, glue, cardboard rolls, clothes pegs, pipe-cleaners or whatever is lying around to hand). And of course, a sprinkling of lightness, in the most literal sense of the word.
THE »CREATIVE STARTER KIT« CAN BE USED IN DIFFERENT WAYS
REGULARLY
You can use it as a calendar: one exercise per week will punctuate your old routine with some fresh, creative air. Simply pick a day of the week- and off you go! The cards are numbered to make this easier, but feel free to shuffle them if you prefer.
TOGETHER
In order to not get stuck in your own thoughts you might also consider setting up a »Creative Starter« community. Invite friends, colleagues or strangers to share their ideas with each other, either in person or through a messaging platform.
OCCASIONALLY
Of course the »Creative Starter Kit« can also be used whenever you want. Whether to get you out of a creative block, to while away long train journeys, as inspiration for creative workshops or as a game for an evening with friends - anything goes!
