Manage a Creative space...

Managing a creative space is looking at the world around you, being inspired and finding u what inspires you.  Everyone, from people in business to designers use the world around them to motivate them. From people in business creating aims, using inspirational books and quotes, just in the same way designers may choose to stick up materials they find, images, typefaces, interesting layout etc.

Creative spaces can be your bed room, a garden, your work desk or even a lecture room at university all which are filled with inspirational images and scenes, designer’s works to get your mind sprinting of creative ideas.

I make collections of artists, illustrators, designers, sculptor’s articles from a variety of magazines, this allows me to flick though to get some inspiration or even to relate to my own work. Interlinking with, developing fluency as I will be broadening me thinking process by engaging with the different materials and images I have collected.

^a few of my collected articals of inspirational artists. A lot more in the folder! It truely is a great way of getting inspiration and interesting peices to read!

Below is the working space of the designer Danny Allison, through this image of her creative space, if we go to analyse what his work may be like I think we will definitely be able to see whether his work is inspired by her working area. The cutting mat suggests that he may do some collage work, with the incorporation of the paint, with the brushes and paints in the background. With the computer central could also suggest that his work is very much manipulated and refined also suggesting that he may be doing editorial work rather than one off pieces. We are also able to see a graphics tablet which again justifies my opinion.

After looking at his work I am defiantly able to see that he is inspired by his creative space, to do the particular things he creates.
