Whether you’re an Interactive Designer or not, A List A Part should be in your RSS reader. Weekly, they post informative, thought-provoking, well-written articles on creativity, web design, client relationships, and more. “List” used to be very interactive-focused, with tutorials and writing about emerging trends, but have shifted over the past few years to cover a broader range of creative topics while upping the quality each and every time.
One of this week’s articles is “Saving the Spark: Developing Creative Ideas” which hits home on everything we do here at HQ. The writer presents a model that has worked for him in the past with idea development (brainstorming!!!) and how to cultivate it – not kill it. It’s a good little read.
