How To Build The Creative Career Of Your Dreams – For The Interested You don’t have to start a company to act like one. One of the best ways to build a successful creative career is to study the way startup companies operate and adapt their tactics to fit your goals. Here are a seven simple ways to do that… 1. Figure Out Your Initial Investment Everything starts with an investment. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a financial investment, but the pursuit of a creative career always requires you to invest time, effort, and resources. That investment — your “startup costs” — may include paying for education or training, working hours as an unpaid intern, or simply buying the equipment or materials you need to create your work.

Ideo breaks its silence on design thinking's problems Ideo as an institution has rarely responded to critiques of design thinking or acknowledged its flaws. But at the Fast Company Innovation Festival, Ideo partner and leader of its Cambridge, Massachusetts, office Michael Hendrix had a frank conversation with Co.Design senior writer Mark Wilson about why design thinking has gotten so much flack. “I think it’s fair to critique design thinking, just as it’s fair to critique any other design strategy,” Hendrix says. “There’s of course many poor examples of design thinking, and there’s great examples. Part of the problem is that many people use the design thinking methodology in superficial ways. “We get a lot of the materials that look like innovation, or look like they make us more creative,” Hendrix says. Hendrix recalls seeing a door near a client’s boardroom labeled with a sign reading, “creative thinking room/DVD storage.” Achieving that balance is tricky, especially in companies that don’t have the right culture.

About — NYC Garbage Justin Gignac is a New York City based artist and entrepreneur. He began selling garbage in 2001 after a co-worker challenged the importance of package design. To prove them wrong, he set out to find something that no one would ever buy, and package it to sell. Looking around the dirty streets of Times Square, garbage was the perfect answer. Twelve years later, over 1,400 NYC Garbage cubes have been sold and now reside in 30 countries around the world. In addition to original New York City Garbage, Gignac has also produced a number of limited edition cubes. Justin resides in SoHo with his wife, Christine, where they keep busy by creating paintings for Wants For Sale and Needs for Sale.
