Feel like playing...?


I just came across this web-site called Sodaplay on the Time Top 50 web-sites - just had a play around with some of the graphics myself, here's what Time had to say about it....

"If you like to play God, the British interactive design company Soda Creative Technologies Ltd. can help you work out your controlling--er, creative--urges. Its Sodaconstructor game gives you a wire-frame, jellyfish-like creature that marches jauntily back and forth across your computer screen; it's up to you to alter physique or physics (by turning gravity on or off, for example). Don't be surprised if you end up growing so proud of your new pet that you want to trot it out like a show poodle in the Sodazoo."

Try it here....

Is it just a guitar? Use your creativity...what else could it be...


Everyone looks at things in a different way. Try this exercise and see what you (and perhaps your friends) come up with.
Print off this image and make it into something else.

I got this evercise from an interesting blog
before and after, if you want some inspiration before you start, take a look at what the guitar shape turned into!

If you want to send me your examples so that I can post them up, email me at sue.alouche@orange.fr

A short Creativity Exercise - What could you access from a cashpoint?

What other things could you access from a cashpoint machine? We go there so many times to get money, couldn't we get other things too?

But be practical, consider size, security, practicality. I bet you'll have 10 ideas in 10 minutes!

Adapted from an exercise from Caffeine for the mind
