Get the right stuff

THE PRINCIPLE

The images and items around you can stimulate your creativity

Have you outfitted your creative space with pictures, items and colours that encourage creativity?

If not, what would do the job?

Usually we think of zany stuff and I have my share of it in my home office: a Frankenstein head, a large rubber statue of Homer Simpson carrying a doughnut on his back, some figures from The Nightmare before Christmas, and a plaster sculpture of Uncle Scrooge diving into a bathtub full of money.

Here are some other ideas:

• plants and flowers
• posters or postcards
• a rear-view mirror attached to your computer
• inspirational quote cards you make yourself
• a symbol of something you hope to achieve.

Colour is important, too. ...
