There are multiple tricks and exercises to help train your eye and think up new creative ideas. Silvia Ferpal, winner of the National Design Award 2019 in the youth category, moves somewhere between art and design. In this course, she will give you creative training using an everyday object: a notebook. Silvia has worked for Ogilvy & Mather, Paseo, or Designit, and has had clients such as Harvard, Bloomberg, Inditex, Leroy Merlin, and the Madrid City Council.

Learn how to approach a creativity project from scratch: find new concepts, shape them, and define them. Train your observation skills and learn to generate new ideas from just about anything. Finally, put these exercises into practice by making a creative notebook designed for a person of your choice.

Description

Start your artistic, visual, and conceptual exploration and learn how to generate and implement ideas

Start the course by meeting Silvia, who briefly explains her career as an artist and designer. Discover some of her projects, learn about her inspiration, and get some of her favorite references.

See some of the methods she applies to approach a creative project, mixing disciplines between art and design and avoiding creative block. The first part of the creative process is divided into three sections: yourself, your environment, and the people you design for.

Search for ideas and see how to stretch them so that they become even more creative. See how other authors do it and how Silvia does it, then create a reference tree and mood board through some different exercises.

Throughout the training, you will have lots of ideas that will be stored in a creative, unconventional notebook specially designed for someone.

Step by step, learn how to research through exercises, how to generate ideas by looking at your environment, and how to push them to their limits. Think about their form and function in order to establish a relationship between the two. Finally, choose the best ideas to define and materialize them.

That’s it! Now, give the notebook to its recipient and see if it meets your expectations.
