Creative, but lacking in substance,
By A. Redman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain (Paperback)
This book read more like a long marketing piece about how awesome the book is. Littered with quotes from people who obviously found previous editions useful, it just gets in the way of what I think it was built to do - excite and energise creative thought.Some exersices are useful, some are good fun, but a lot are rather plain and boring. If you have no imagination at all, this book may be a useful kick-start to any brain storming or creative session. I would suggest that it might be useful for school teachers too - as some of the ideas leverage a lot of imagination which kids would be great at. On the good side, the typographic treatment of the content is exciting and inspiring, each page has something new to look at and read, if nothing else it's a nice example of how unconventinal type treatment can enhance an otherwise bland book. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

Geared toward designers, but great for ANY creative mind!,
By Jill M. Paulson "jillmarie7276" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain (Paperback)
It is certainly what it says! I started tabbing all the exercises that I especially wanted to try right away. Well, let's just say the book looks like it's growing some very colorful hair with all tabs sticking out of it! A lot of them that struck me initially seemed to be photography challenges, but I guess that makes sense since that is one of the things I'm really hoping to improve on this year.It addition to the exercises, they also have numerous short interviews with some leading designers across a spectrum of website, logo, promotions, illustration, animation, etc. In these, I found numerous ideas and concepts to ponder, some of which I will be sharing with you here in the coming weeks. Although this book is certainly not specifically geared towards scrapbookers, I think any serious 'creative' would find great value in this book. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

The Copywriters and the Designers are Happy,
By Heather Grimstead - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain (Paperback)
Some of the creative exercise books out there are kind of....well, lame. This one isn't. It's got its share of silliness, but the exercises in this book really get the right-brain working. For most, you don't need anything more than pen, paper, and imagination. A handful of the exercises call for items that you can find around the house or office.Although they aren't necessarily designed with a team in mind, it's easy to adapt the exercises for a group. Plus, the range of exercises makes the copywriters and the designers happy. My group, a corporate creative team, frequently pulls from this book for our weekly creative stretch. Everyone usually has a good laugh at the end results. |
