Have you ever wondered what you would do if the internet went down? I know I would probably do more than half of the suggested approaches suggested in the poster below. So if you're ever in a pickle with what to do when your internet goes down. Look no further than this poster created by
Pleated Jeans. Although, I think they could have added "surf the internet on your phone", but that would have made all the suggestions useless.

The dance crazy posters below were created by
Amy Rodchester for the Newcastle Festival of Dance. I was quite intrigued with Amy's choice of visualization with her design. She describes her ideas and elements on her site and this is what she had to say:
The design of the posters visualise any pair of feet in any pair of shoes being able to dance and aims to encourage people to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. The 3D element of the posters engages and intrigues viewers. Each poster targets a different generation, inspiring children to dance, encouraging youths to be creative, motivating adults to continue exercise and reminding the elderly of their time in the old dance halls.

In the age of digital, to-do list apps have been a blessing in disguise, but let me show you another treasure for those hand list makers out there.
Ryan McGinness has just published this unique to-do list calendar for 2012. It's the perfect resource for any artist, designer, or dedicated list-maker to have on his or her own desk. The
To-Do List Calendar ($31.00) features a lightly gridded space on each page, which also features a unique drawing of one of McGinness signature symbols. The entire calendar is printed in one color 100% black and comes in a minimal and slick package.

I'm sure we have all been stuck in a slump when it comes to creativity, unable to find a way to jump start that creative brain of ours. Well how about watching a video created by
TO-FU. It's based on
Paul Zii's list of
29 Ways to Stay Creative. This list is full of ways to kick start your creativity and I personally have found that many of them work. I would have to say though #5 "
quit beating yourself up" is one that I need to work on. If any of my reader out there has another way to stay creative let me know. I would like to hear what you have to say.
Michael McCarthy known in the music world as
Orka Veer has captured the attention of
The Collective Loop. He currently has
three albums in his arsenal of exceptional music; however, I would like to talk more about his first album "Sam's Solution". This album came about due to Sam, a friend of Orka Veer's who has autism but used his personal talents to help those in need, which inspired Orka Veer to do the same. Orka Veer used his commitment to music and his selflessness and altruistic giving, and with his longing to cultivate these ideologies through his music, Orka Veer released and freely distributed his first full-length album "
Sam's Solution". The album was later remastered through his record label Feudal Records and 100% of the profits benefited an autistic charity.
If that doesn't capture your heart then wait till you listen to this album. It's structured with perfection and flow and it feels as though it's one whole track with many layers. Sam's Solution will have you feeling clear minded as you start to feel your mood change and inspiration starts flowing in. I have been listening to this album for a couple days and each time a new sound arises or a new mood forms. So with that being said, go and download his album
"Sam's Solution" for FREE and experience it for yourself or have a listen to the album below.
