Your Idea Starts Here: 77 Mind-Expanding Ways to Unleash Your Creativity

Anyone who has ever worked in graphic design or marketing will want this book. It is a totally delightful and creative work which is also creatively designed to delight. The author has worked in graphic design for twenty years and teaches that art in top schools. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design.

The illustrations are visually stimulating and the suggestions about expanding creativity are very creative themselves, for example, “Do the opposite” on page thirty-five. The book also uses quotes and off-the-wall ideas to promote “out of the box” thinking. Idea 41 transforms ordinary objects into something else. On one page, we learn how a beautiful movie star invented a secret communication system. This book is so much fun to read and is sure to provoke new ideas and new ways of looking at your projects.

This is a perfect gift for anyone, but especially great for an artistic friend. I loved the design of the book and was so entertained by all of the fun concepts.
