In this week's Creative Blog I wanted to share an exercise I read about in a book from class called Caffeine for the Creative Mind by (Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield). The creative exercise was called Trick or Pantone Book? In this creative exercise It is halloween and I am tasked with creating costumes for a graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, art director, musician, and writer.
graphic designer- Outfit as the four colors used in printing (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key/black). You can make a costume with colored sections or body paint to represent each color.
illustrator- Adobe Illustrator Tool – You can dress up as your favorite design tool like the Pen Tool, Selection Tool, or even the Layers panel. Use signs or props that represent the tool's functions.
photographer- Classic Camera – Dress up as a classic camera! You could wear a cardboard box or large foam piece shaped like an old-school film camera or a DSLR. Add a lens and other camera details, and you’re good to go!
art director- "The Mood Board" – Dress as a literal mood board! Attach photos, color swatches, textures, and design elements all over your clothes, creating a collage of inspiration and ideas. You can even add little design notes or sticky notes for extra flair.
musician- Rock Star – Go all-out with a classic rock star look: leather jacket, ripped jeans, aviator sunglasses, and an electric guitar prop. Think of iconic musicians like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, or Jimi Hendrix for some inspiration.
writer- Classic Author (e.g., Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe) – Dress as a famous author like William Shakespeare with a ruffled collar, a quill, and a parchment scroll. Or channel Edgar Allan Poe with a dark, Victorian-style outfit.
