Why Are We Searching?
As the internet becomes more and more part of our daily life, searching on the web turns out to be our 'second nature'.
Today: The world is searching... Next to mail, the search engine is becoming a true killer application. Bloglumn, BlogFonk's new column, mentioned the influence of search engines on creative professionals. The internet is a big source of information: search engines become 'create engines' when input for new ideas and concepts is needed. Another good way to start your creative search is by checking advertising blogs. What's a blog, really? Watch this helpful video of Molly E. Holzschlag. A blog enables you to put information on the web easily. These advertising blogs give a jump start to the latest news, views and interviews. 
Fonkcov: The world's first free mailbox magazine cover with clickable links to creativity. Magazines can also give creative impulses for new ideas. Dutch design magazine Creatie published an item in its first issue on page 5 about Fonkcov, the first free mailbox magazine cover. Next year, Fonkcov invites young students to design new issues. Youngsters should be promoted for their creative talents, like the National Curriculum in Action tries to stimulate pupils. 
Creative initiative: National Curriculum in Action promotes pupils' creative thinking and behaviour. According to Nils Adriaans in Behind the Idea, the essence of Creatie is the idea that showing a lot of work will keep creatives up to date (about fellow creatives) and will inspire them. Maybe also an idea to invite designers to design every new Creatie issue? So, we are searching because we are looking for new ideas, new impulses to create and maybe more important, to see how we can show our 'unique selling points'. Creative professionals should have an interactive platform to share their thoughts and skills. A web portal with blog features could be a good start. |
