My friend showed me a LIFE HACK.
If you’re in a group. And you can’t decide on where to eat. You might hear things like:
“I don’t know.”
“I can’t think.”
“I don’t have any ideas.”
Until someone says a really bad idea.
“I think we should go to burger king.”
Nobody wants to go to burger king. So they suddenly say where they’d rather go.
“Ramen.”
“Pizza.”
“Soup.”
It’s hard to pluck a good idea out of thin air. But it’s easy to say a better idea than burger king.
You can use this LIFE HACK in any creative process.
Don’t try to craft the perfect design on your first go. Make a bad burger king. Then make it better.
If you’re building a creative tool, how are you helping your user to make a burger king? Are you giving them something to build off? Are you encouraging them to play around?
Or are you just presenting them with a blank canvas?
It’s clear. We need to normalise sharing scrappy fiddles. For the betterment of ideas!
