Core Principles for Rapidly Attaining Creative Flow

March 24, 2008

Consistently achieving a state of focused concentration can be difficult. There are some simple techniques you can employ that will have you rapidly entering this blissful creative and productive zone. Learn the benefits of Flow and how to get into that hyper productive groove.

Rapidly Attaining Creative Flow - Quick Overview

  1. Create your optimal environment for working on your creative projects. For me it’s my office, mine is like a cave, or a big closet. It’s as removed as possible. Situated in a far corner of my house. That way external distractions are minimized and I’m able to focus.
  2. Each day prioritize your tasks. Arrange them so that you have time to focus on the creative part of a project. Schedule this time of day during your peak performance hours. For me that’s in the morning. Fully commit to this time. Turn off your email, your phone, and your feeds. Don’t allow anything to break your concentration. Lock the door if you have to and turn on some music.
  3. Start creating. Fully enjoy this creative time and be in the moment. Allow yourself to ignore your internal needs. Let time and worries drift away from your conscious. Focus deeper and become completely absorbed in your work.
  4. Continue to push and challenge yourself in your work. If a problem presents itself that is to complex. Quickly break it down into manageable parts and keep working, keep flowing, and keep creating.
Kaboomb! A bomb just went off or you finished your work. Otherwise, nothing is pulling you out of this zone! Read more

Ethos

March 23, 2008

In some ways you could say that Support is our main service. 90% of our costs and resources are dedicated to providing installation, testing, customization, design and branding advice in support of our customers. You can get cheaper hosting (but not as fast and as reliable) you can download and configure WordPress for yourself (but not as hassle-free) but what you cannot do is find the whole personal brand package from any other provider with such a comprehensive support service.

Our support ethos promises:

> Free support for quick solutions

> Constantly updated knowledge base for self-help users

NoPattern “Jumper” Effect

March 23, 2008

One of the coolest digital artists around is Chuck Anderson, a.k.a. NoPattern. After seeing a recent PSDTUTS reader request, I decided to show you how to create a light effect similar to NoPattern’s Jumper Poster. At the end I’ll show you how a technique like this can be used in a variety of different ways to make stunning images…

Step 1

Create a new document sized to 600px x 800px. Unlock the background layer and fill it with a dark blue color (#091417).

PicApp: A Free Source For Editorial Photographs

March 22, 2008

If you are looking for photo’s for your blog to bring your stories to life and want to ensure that you have the rights to use them, you might be interested in exploring the new free service offered by PicApp.You can register for an account and then search their data base. The photos are displayed in a flash media file and can be embedded on any web page, just like you do with video’s for example from YouTube. According to a report at Gigaom, PicApp has advertising embedded in the photos and has a revenue share with the photos agencies. It’s not going to be relevant for some of us who take the approach that we don’t have advertising on our business blogs and I know there are many people who prefer not to have flash on their websites or blogs. However if you are looking for photographs that you can use on your blog if covering a news event it is a site worth exploring. Read more
