brainstorming techniques - music creativity

I was on a road trip with my family over the past two weeks. While on the road we obviously had the CD cranked with all sorts of music. Folk, Classical, Rock, Hip Hop… well you get the point. While I wasn’t driving and there was a lack of conversation (sort of personal time), I would be working on my current projects.

I noticed how my style of design was inspired by the music. When I was producing a logo, I had this real fluid design when listening to classical and a somewhat grudge look when Hip Hop was playing. Without even really thinking, my mind was in that zone. My creativity was heightened by the influence of music.

I learned something new about my personal pursuit to expand my creativity. Music influences your thoughts. It is how you channel those thoughts to your benefit. So if you are a designer, artists, or problem solver for that matter, consider the type of music you listen to. Change it up, and notice how your mind just might change its state of consciousness.  

Happy Creative Pursuit
