Looking at the Pieces Until You See

Creativity Challenge 1998 #40

Because I am going to be away, hopefully avoiding Hurricane George, I am sending two CCs in the same week.

Let's try a visual creative challenge this time.

Go pick up a pile of popular magazines or your copies of USA Today or The Wall Street Journal and tear out the advertisements with the large to giant photographs.

Then take a piece of cardboard or card stock paper and either...

a. cut a 3" x 3" square hole out of the middle of a piece that is 8 1/2 x 11 or larger.

b. or take four pieces of cardboard or card stock paper and form a 3" x 3" square opening/hole by laying the four pieces on top of each other and tape them together.

Now you have created a window.

Then lay your window over the photos looking for a section of each photo that is ambiguous, meaning that looking at only a small section or detail the window size photo might appear to be more than what it actually is or it becomes hard to see what the photo actually is.

Games magazine has a page of these in most issues called "Eye Ballers".

Through this CC you will practice creating your own.

Choose 6 to 12 of these.

Take the particular squares you choose from ad photos and trace a line around the opening of the square and cut out the section. Then mount the squares on sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 cardboard or index/card stock paper placing 6 on a sheet.

I use this exercise as a warm-up to stretch people's thinking and to help them begin to look at single details in ways they haven't before.

Both of these are useful creative thinking and problem solving skills.

Have fun.

See y'all in cyberspace in a couple weeks. Shuffling off to Pretoria, South Africa trying to go around Hurricane George.
