Here is the body text section where I finally wrote my first ever really insightful and witty blog post about an excellent article from Logic + Emotion that I thought all you adholes would enjoy.

It was all about how Creativity 2.0 is really about a new digitally-inspired Renaissance (hence the title, which was the only thing that was saved, thanks to the guy who invented cookies). My blog further postulated that this new 'Age of Enlightenment' will do away with "creative specialists" in favor of 21st-Century Da Vincis. It was a great article, problably Pulitzer material, even if it was my first.

This is the very same blog post which then disappeared into thin air when I pushed the save button.

So here is the article, you'll have to imagine how great my blog was until next time. So much for beginner's luck.

The truely uninitiated artist asks: What can my creativity do for me? But really the question should be: What can I do with my creativity? A truely creative person can apply such skills to any field, it is of course finding the most personally rewarding field to apply such thinking to that often become most difficult. I think the need for creative thinking is growing in all fields and the ability to merge right minded thinking with left minded thinking is a must for many business structures.

Make sure you "copy" your blog before you hit save. There have been plenty before you...

An angel's advocate of sorts, insightful discernment and keen value judgments, knowing the difference between good and bad; in people, in their work, in the concepts they create, in the byproducts of their concepts, or anything where value is shrewdly sensed and astutely judged-that is the rarest talent in the world. Yes indeed, a fragmented world demands, multi talents and skills, in order to survive and prosper.

I used to annoy my creative director for being a devil's advocate. He'd say "you should be an account exec." Of course, we know that being a creative with business sense just gets you to stronger ideas quicker. Anyone can brainstorm a lot of ideas, it's recognizing the few that will actually work and going with them that a creative leader needs for success. If you do this as a team, you lose something in the process because a creative who just spews lots of creativity without regard for business leaves a team of business people to figure out what to do with it all. In the end, it's the business side that's doing a lot of work. Doing both is the best evolution – especially since a lot of jobs are looking for hybrids (account planners for example.) And kids coming out of college are saying they do both copy and art. Not one or the other. That's the next change...
