Just for fun Friday: a walk in the park

Brian — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:16:48 +0000

Late last week I went for a quick walk in the park. Partly to get out of the office and partly because it was just so nice out that I just had to go. I took the camera with me and found this great tree. I find that nature is a huge inspirational tool that I sometimes overlook when I need a creative boost. Here are a few pics from my walk.

It’s time for another Just For Fun Friday. Since March is finally ending I figured that I would create a calendar desktop for next month. It’s time for spring and I wanted to match whats going on outside on my desktop inside. So here is something to brighten up your desktop.

Time to get outside and enjoy.

This week for my little Friday creative break I decided to do a little green texture. Doesn’t really mean anything just wanted to get out a little color and texture that must be built up in me.

Plus I don’t want to get pinched for not having any green on today! Since chances are I won’t have a chance to post tomorrow.

Happy St. Paddy’s day everyone!

It’s time for another Just For Fun Friday. This week since it’s leap year I figured that I would create a calendar desktop for next month. Since I’m sick and tired of winter I thought that I would make something with a spring feel hoping that maybe it would tied me over until the weather actually changes. So here is something to brighten up your desktop.

Think spring with me and enjoy.

Every Friday I take some time for myself and create something that gets my creative juices flowing. This week I thought I would create something that maybe you could use also. It’s just a simple little ditty that you could use as a background for a flyer or whatever. Maybe just a little romantic card for someone you care about.

If you use this for anything I would love to know about it. Send me a link or comment and let me know.

Just For Fun Friday: San Diego

Brian — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:08:46 +0000

On Fridays I like to take a few minutes just for myself and do something purely creative. Just for me and just for fun. It helps me stay creative through the week and gives me something to look forward to. It helps me explore possibilities, makes me think / relax, and allows me to keep up on techniques that I may not use everyday.

This Week I decided to try to re-create a feeling that I had on a recent vacation to San Diego.

The first photo is a photo that I took under a pier that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. While I love the photo it doesn’t exactly express the moment that it was taken.

The second photo more accurately expresses the moment.

I only wanted to take a minute to do this and it’s not perfect but sometimes small things like this keep me creative and ready to take on the next project.

What do you do to stay creative and fresh through the week?
