Behind
Visual Workout:
Inspired
by 15 years of teaching design, and the constant question
asked by students, "How do you keep creativity flowing?"
I teamed with my esteemed colleague Robin Landa to write
a book that would answer the students' question. Creativity
doesn't just happen, you have to keep your creative muscles
fit with a visual workout every week or everyday!
Robin
and I made a visual workout easy. You can open our book
to any section, pick up a pencil or marker and exercise
your creative muscle directly on a blank page in the book.
You can think of our book as a great gym that carries all
the latest (and most fun) exercise equipment. – Rose
