Creativity is not to be taken for granted, it is not something you ‘have’ it is something that you must work at, and practice, to keep strong. I practice my creativity daily, by writing, twittering, designing and researching. I am always trying to find new, unique ways to practice my creativity. One of my favorite ways is to pick a photo from flickr, and create a marketing campaign for a product, using the image. I don’t do it for work, or because I have to, but because it helps my mind to stay sharp and think outside of the box. So, I figured I would let you all try it with me today. Here is the image that I chose:
And here are the questions you have to answer:
- What product would you use this image for
- What would the tagline be for the product
- Where would you promote it (web, billboard, tv, etc)
- What would you expect people to visualize when they saw the image
- What other colors would you use with the image
- What fonts would be great to use with the image
Please leave your answers to any or all of the questions in the comments. I will be interested to see what you choose to use the image for, and what you can picture!

Considering the Caddyshack movies already branded the gopher with golf, how about the squirrel with some other lawn game? Squash would be great but that’s not played outdoors. Bocce? Archery, even?
I don’t know anything about your other questions. Until you have a product, is irrelevant to suggest what-ifs.
