Let Your Mind Wander

So I had pretty much hit a road block when it came to what I was going to do for my book, recently. I had a very general idea that sounded interesting, but when I tried to visualize it I couldn't come up with anything. So I collected myself and started doing research.

Where I want to go with this book is "wherever my mind takes me". A lot of what I did in my experiences (all two of them...fail) was to use my imagination and let my mind just wander. This was especially true with my second exploration, where I stared at an object for an extended period of time and wrote whatever came to mind. I want to take this and show how a designer (myself, most likely) can let their imagination wander and create something extraordinary.

I want to create a series of posters, typographic and graphic explorations.

Here are some links to what I am exploring:
Mind-Wandering
Daydreaming
Imagination

  1. sounds like you had a break through. these are topics that could lead into some interesting areas. you might look at surrealism to find some visualizations of subconscious wanderings.
