What's your creative process?

[kara_susvilla]

Having a process also allows you to think of ideas that may not be easily apparent. What's one thing you do to help come up with new ideas? How can you incorporate this into a repeatable framework (for yourself as well as those you collaborate with)?

What's your creative process?

My creative process is to read the content I'm trying to create, live in the topic I'm trying to pass across, research, listen to music, and write them down so I don't forget or lose track.

[LANGAT97]

Personally, to come up with new ideas, I always research on various materials pertaining to the topic at hand. After gathering the material that I find it sufficient, I read through them thoroughly and take a break to allow my mind to process it. I always read new materials on daily basis and encourage every member of my team to do their research to get diverse knowledge that will easily spark ideas during the ideation phase. 

[Rolyat]

My creative process is making sure my work area is clean and free of distractions and looking at examples of what I plan to do in order to get more ideas.

[LANGAT97]

The clean aspect of the working area implies quality ideas as the quote goes, "cleanliness is next to Godliness."

[CHernandez9]

I'll go for a walk, vaccum, do the dishes (if I'm working from home) or work on something.

I always, carry a pen and small notebook ... in case inspiration

[JPereira34]

I find observing situations around me and asking 'why' really helps me come up with new ideas. Keeping my mind open to  current issues and even observing nature, really helps

[PFF4628]

I have a repeating framework in place where I list out business objectives, then brainstorm problems to solve for the customers that are associated with those business objectives, then riff with my agency partners to associate the objectives and ideas into content ideas. It works decently well, though perhaps it is a bit safe. 

[JSaunders7]

One thing I do to come up with new ideas is to look at what other bloggers and content creators are writing about. 

[JorgeReyna]

My creative process is an ongoing cycle of consuming information, media, or entertainment; having as many open, candid, in-depth conversations with people around me about the new things learned; and making the time to focus and buckle down to get as much done as possible when all of it comes together in a clear picture of what I'm going to be making.

[CRay98]

My creative process is;

Gain inspiration

CReate a rough draft. Research and gather more information, distribute or do what i call division of labour then audit and approved all the creatives

[JSaunders7]

Thank you for the inspiration!

[PMcCaleb]

My creative process is to immerse myself in a real life or virtual environment that is connected in someway to what I'm trying to create. It works closely to the same process described in the previous video where I allow subconscious thought to generate ideas. From there its important to write it down immediately before the thought is lost and the struggle to recreate the idea happens. After that, its all about application. Acting on the idea and seeing where it takes me. 

[Priiiyaa026]

my creative process is to think about something and then analysing its benefits and thinking about its pros and cons and thinking about the same in some imaginary basis which can be possible to turn into reality

[SSutliff]

Here is my creative process:

1. Gather factual information

2. Gain Inspiration 

3. Create a vision board 

4. Make a rough draft 

5. Time my concept correctly 

6. Apply! 

[LHembram]

1. I will gather information from the right sources. 

2. Try to make connections in between the concepts. 

3. Let my subconscious take over. 

3. Then write down the good ideas. 

4.  Test them. 

5. And reuse good ideas on different ways.

when it comes to the creative process I love to start brainstorming and watching videos and topics that are related to what I'm thinking and start taking ideas and building on them idea most of the time I enjoy scrolling and watching videos on social media related to that topic 

[Selfyou]

Yeah, when coming up with now ideas as explaining in the previous lesson. I try to gather information around me as much as possible about the idea I am working on as far as going to TikTok to watch some videos about it. I make sure I digest it very well. Then put important things down from what come to me unconsciously

[DayaTera2]

Ideas comes to me most of the time when go i though the contents of my competators(eg. Instagram), who have content gaps within there content. Firstly I evaluvate my contents, write down( mostly in note pad) were i can include there gaps in my conents. Then incoperate there content gaps withing my content without devating from from brand styling and visual appeal (theme based Intagram page). 

This is the one of the strategies i followed for my page long ago and it was worked out every single time.

[BensonWa]

This question has never really come to mind before.

Come to think of it, ideas come when I am out simply doing something completely different such as having a walk, working out and cooking.

I write down the notes on my notes app.

Later I do the research and start the work on it. 

[HamdaJalled]

Coming up with new ideas depends on framework I'm working in, like if it's about finding solutions for daily life issues, I try to be quick and find the fastest and most efficient ways to deal with them, if it's about university projects or homework, I give more time to think about ideas that can be implemented repeatedly as well as try to improve on them in every chance possible.

[MickeyP]

I've never really considered it before now. I tend to start with lists and then organize those into groups that can be later fleshed out into something more. Most of the content I write is emails, so I also have to think visually and much as linguistically. I'm constantly looking at the emails I receive for ideas on structure and where a headline might work better. I generally find that when I'm struggling with a topic it's best to move onto a physical task so that my brain slightly disengages, that's when i find new perspective and connections I may not have noticed previously.
