Creativity post- 2

 For my creativity exercise this week, I did quick art challenge that requires you to try and think outside the box, or rather in this case, circle. Originally I saw this idea while browsing for things to try this week on https://www.ideo.com/journal/build-your-creative-confidence-30-circles-exercise . Ideo is a company that helps build up future designers through their blog, however primairly they offer their services in the world of design, creating mockups.

The idea of this challenge is to take a set of circles (I only did 12 for this case) and to create different designs inside of them within a short span of time. To keep myself from staying too long on one design I set a timer for 10 minutes max for the piece, though I'd recommend more time if needed. Originally I was going to keep the piece black and white with maybe some greyscale, but the chrome logo just needed that pop of color- and so using that color palette I went in and colored each circle. 

While this exercise doesn't produce anything mind boggling, it was a very helpful warm-up that gets you into thinking,  personally I can absolutely see myself going back and using this idea before getting started on projects.
