Be Creative

Need ideas to get the creative juices flowing? Sometimes it helps to just sit back and daydream, or go about your everyday business, when all of a sudden....that's it! An idea! It can occur at any time, any place. Just make sure that you make note of it somewhere so that you can refer back to it.

Check out What's New in the world of posters and various other wall art displays. See if your imagination runs wild.

Generating ideas can be done by training your mind. Sometimes an old idea can be transformed into something new.

Concentrate on what it is you want, then when you're efforts are exhausted, forget about it! That's right, just push it out of your mind. Relax! Chances are you'll be inspired seemingly out of nowhere and an idea will pop into your head. After awhile it'll happen more and more.

I found a fantastic website devoted to creativity. I highly recommend you go there and read what Charles Cave has to say on the subject. Go to Creativity Web, and see if he doesn't get your mind cranking.

What exactly is the definition of creativity?

How To Group and Arrange Pictures

I used posters of old “Broadway Shows” as my theme.

How I Grouped and Arranged my Broadway Posters

First, measure the width of the wall, then decide on how much space you want between each poster. Take the width of the posters plus the amount of space between each poster — subtract that number from the width of the wall and divided by 2. This will be the amount of space on each end of the wall where you would begin and end each poster.

Posters from old Broadway Shows beginning in the corner.

There is a large wide beam in the ceiling (see photo below), and I needed to allow extra space between the posters so that I could hang a clock instead of a poster in that space.

Posters that were hidden are now into view.

A small wall area at the end of the room. Just enough room for the remaining two posters.

In case you were curious, here's that little billiard clock, below, that goes in the space under the beam in the 2^nd picture above.
