Forty years after Jim Morrison’s death, the song “She Smells So Nice” by the doors, which had never played before, will come out in a special edition to the album “LA Woman”

You might already know that video from Dana Tanamachi, but she is so talented that we could see it several times with the same pleasure.

Everything that is absorbed and registered in your mind adds to the collection of ideas stored in the memory: a sort of library that you can consult whenever a problem arises So, essentially the more you have sen, experience and absorbed, the more points of reference you will have to help you decide which direction to take: your frame of reference expands

Thanks to my Visual Culture class I now know this is a post-modern idea.

Maurice Utrillo
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. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have
