If you are looking for creative and weired things, come to UK - one of the best scenes in the world.

An animated short about Cow 1011’s gory attempt to destroy her arch nemesis, Barry the Dairy owner.

Liked the video. Liked the sound. All in all, a good, creative work.

I’ve been talking a lot about the creative process lately. The reason for this is very simple. Creativity is important, especially today when only a dozen take full advantage of it. Creativity is not a talent, neither it is a skill. You are not born with it but it is something that you cultivate and develop over time. This post will hopefully shed some light on how to develop your creative mind.

The following list was extracted from an article located over here. [...]

Two amazing videos on the creative process. The way of the hacker is the way of the creative mind. But what creativity can do?

The second video gets into some of the interesting aspects of what creativity is. I think that it is quite spot on.

Another great data visualization video on a popular movie. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?.

It is awesome to get some culture going on in here. R’gis B. has let us know about a French group called La Cause.

I have to tell you that I haven’t seen that much of destruction in a while but I guess it is a good way to relieve the stress and get something creative and positive out of it. Remonte tes chaussettes - you’ve got to love it.

As being a frequent reader of Fast Company, I simply couldn’t miss to check out their blogs too. So I did and stumbled across an article about the The new Rules of Innovation, which you can check out from over here. The rules are as follow. I’ve added my own personal responses to these. Bare with me. It is 2:00am UK time and I falling a sleep although burning inside from excitement and interest:

Paul Rand is a was a well-known American graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs. In the video bellow, Paul Rand, the graphic wizard, shares his experience to show and educate what makes a design good. But there is more to the eye can see. Form & Content! ideas do not need to be esoteric to be original or exciting.

…when form predominates, meaning is blunted. [...]

Kaki King (or Katherine King) is one of the most prolific American guitarists and music educators. Her music really stunned me the first time when I saw her playing. Technically, she is fret-tapping/slap bass guitarist. This style of music is quite complex by nature and it is definitely not for everyone. Though, I really like the richness of the sound.

In the case of King, it is a way of life and definitely a way to send messages (across the wire). [...]

The French man Jean-Yves has designed absolutely mind blowing suite which allows you to skate in which ever way you like.

The suit went on sell although there are still not that many takers for it. Nevertheless, the concept and design still remains ingenious. Check the video of Jean-Yves’s show off. It is really worthed and it serves as a great eye opener.
