Oct 24, 2009 - why on Earth would you say that???? TOTALLY disagree...he is sharing an approach that WORKS with you for free...we're damn lucky

Jul 12, 2010 - i'd have to say to this that the design that he was talking about was far from strictly art related, allot of it was engineering. but yes, this approach should be used in more businesses than it is.

GMPresents Says:

Aug 1, 2010 - Some mildly interesting points, but equally, Tim is doing this with a corporate agenda - the idea of teaching people how to design more effectively so that people will be persuaded to buy more products and services (that they probably don't need) fills me with dread. I've worked with many designers in my lifetime and I always find it sad that their talents are wasted on something as lifeless as branding and such. What is corporate design? Nothing more than an oxymoron to credible creativity.

PNHassett Says:

Aug 3, 2010 - I find these conferences questionable since their intent was cloaked by a megalomaniac who really wanted to promote his agenda at a private college that caters towards trust fund babies that pay over 100k in tuition. It's a self indulgent Art School that has a philosophy that prostrates itself towards its cooperate masters. I don't see how you can be truly be creative if you're really trying to appease the business community?

GMPresents Says:

Aug 3, 2010 - said "I don't see how you can be truly be creative if you're really trying to appease the business community?"Agreed. Far too much kudos is bestowed upon design-for-business. Although I applaud the stimulation of creativity, I find the whole idea of celebrated corporate design to be revolting. If we're talking absolutes, then yes, designing an effective ad campaign for BP is being 'creative', but that doesn't mean its right. Are you an artist or a designer? Which would you prefer?

Oct 3, 2010 - Unlocking the creativity in all of us is vitally important. In orbiting the giant hairball the author refers to grade 1. children eager to tell everyone they are an artist. By the time they get to grade 3. only 10 out of 30 will tentatively, self consciously raise their hand. Rediscover that grade 1 child in you today. Great work Tim.

Jan 6, 2011 - I disagree with his first point in the sense that the people were 'sorry' because they were afraid of what others would think, that is not true. The medium they used to convey what he wanted them to stifled them because they are not good at using the medium (Drawing). He's talking as if the pictures they drew were INTENDED to look the way they were. If you are supposed perform a piece of music in front of the writer and you have no idea how to use your instrument, you WILL feel apologetic.

iTellyoueveryting Says:

Jan 6, 2011 - Rather get them to draw a picture of the room they would NOT be apologetic but would probably laugh at what they drew. The apologetic feeling did not come from the fear of other peoples opinions, it came from not portraying the person they drew the way they were or even intended to.

SexyRaww Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - Hmm...As an artist, I do get allot of negative looks from people just for being "free" with myself and having the confidence to be wrong. Of course, it sometimes makes me feel insecure but it doesn't stop my creativity. I just accept that in life, both bad and good feelings come. It's funny because, with me, my creativity "stops" when I try to fight off the insecurity. I learned to accept all of myself. That's how creativity happens for me and most other artists I know...

SexyRaww Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - Nah, I would just acknowledge that I didn't know anything about the instrument. And I'd tell the writer, "I don't know shit about this instrument, so here goes, you asked for it" lol.

SexyRaww Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - Ya, exactly. I think society can be just plain silly. They think they're "growing up" but they're just failing to see the entire picture. We all have a life that will end one day, every single person is just going to be another pile of bones in the ground. In that sense, we are united in this World. We need to let go of our egotistical perception of social status because it is just based on insecurity and not progress. What is so bad being creative? Oooh so criminal. lol.

SexyRaww Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - I know what you mean. I'm an art major in university. I never understood the comparing thing though. My teacher would show me Gogh, and I would appreciate it and understand his techniques but they just aren't my techniques. I'm not Gogh, I'm myself. I wish they took out the comparing thing. If students wanted to compare themselves to great masters, they can do it on their own. For me, it's just tedious and doesn't do anything.

SexyRaww Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - What does growing up even mean? Are you sure you know? Or you just blindly limited by your life that's going to end one day anyway? O.o

marsCubed Says:

Feb 7, 2011 - IMO people should look at & try to understand other Artists as much as they can. Particularly ones that relate to their own work.What I meant to say was the direction ones take is one's own, Be aware that excellence does often involve novelty, mood, ideas, stuff that captures people's imagination.. it's is a visual language. and Artists saying things with it. It can take some courage.With Art especially, Everybody is a critic. One needs to be able to deal with that.
