You’re Invited to “Creatives & Coffee” Featuring Ande Campbell, Creative Director at Planned Parenthood
The Event: In a noisy digital world, where algorithms feed everyone the same worldview, how do you carve out time for visual stimulation that can actually lead to new ideas? First, head outside. And don’t be a phone zombie!
Then what? Follow Ande Hubbard, senior creative director at Planned Parenthood, who will share three analog techniques to stimulate creative thinking and idea generation. Think of them as ways to be present and in the moment. They include reimagining the things you see every day in new ways, making connections between audio and visuals, and taking a topic-driven walk to pluck fresh ideas from your surroundings.
These techniques are more important than ever, especially given how so much work looks and feels like the same these days. This is no surprise, as everyone looks at the same digital platforms for inspiration. Those who want to make something different must use a different ideation approach than everyone else. And that is where Ande’s techniques come into play.
Creative Exercise: We will have attendees apply one of her techniques, following Ande’s talk. We know that practice and exposure is the best way to flex the creative muscle.
By bringing Ande’s advice to life, we’re providing a space for people to hone their own skills while learning from the pros.
This event is ideal for:
Creative directors, graphic designers, and illustrators who want to learn from someone leading a global organization.
Those who are feeling tired of creative work that looks and feels the same these days.
People who hate networking but still want to network. (We always draw a great crowd.)
This event will fill up quickly, so please email us at editors@thecreativefactor.co if you would like to attend. We will see you there!
