Dear all,
Ever found yourself stuck in an idea rut, the monotony of routine, or a creative block, and desperately searching for inspiration?
Come and “play” our way out of boring conventions and the copy-and-paste mentality, and see if we can transform "stuck" into "sparks" together.

What have some very creative people said about "creativity?" Here are some quotes to get us thinking:
"Creativity is intelligence having fun." - Albert Einstein"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou"Creativity takes courage." - Henri Matisse"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something." - Steve JobsReady for some out-of-the-box thinking?
