The Musings Of A Newman

Follow up to a comment on a blog posting i made.... a complete work of fiction but quite amusing.

No10: "We need some thing fresh.. down with the Facebook / Bebo / Twitter crowd something that will help us connect with Generation Y"

Agency: "We could get you integrated to every social platform out there?, Fresh you say... well we have done some stuff for Hollywood recently".

No10: "Hollywood you say?"

agency: "yes Hollywood, films movies etc, big, clever, social,web 3.0,viral stuff, we can help you connect to your audiences"

No10: .. "Ok we're interested how much?"

Agency: "100k for the lot"

No10 thinking:, the last lot wanted 250k, this will make us look more accountable, positive spin,

No10: "Ok how quickly can you deliver .Brown or "GB" as we're now calling him needs that "in-crowd touch" fast"

Agency: If we do some creative resourcing we will be most likely to deliver around about..say first half of August..

No10: "You've got a deal, keep us informed"

Agency thinking: Well that was easy, this one is gonna look good to future clients.

Agency project manager: "what! your kidding.. do u know how long these things take to build and test?"

Agency money man : "Beg, steal do what ever you can.. 4 weeks alright with you,testing?, can't we do that when it's live?, it will be one of those umm betathings the big players are doing it"

Agency dev, after hearing brief : "sigh" Clicks on to SEARCH enters how to build a site quickly using cms technologies, result returns wordpress

Want to understand the creative personality.. then the above article on psychology today is interesting... in short.. here is a cut down version, thanks to Paul Bradshawfor pointing to this great article.

1. Creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but they're also often quiet and at rest. They work long hours, with great concentration...

2.. Creative people tend to be smart yet naive at the same time.

3. Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility... "Despite the carefree air that many creative people affect, most of them work late"

4. Creative people alternate between imagination and fantasy, and a rooted sense of reality. Great art and great science involve a leap of imagination into a world that is different from the present...

5. Creative people trend to be both extroverted and introverted.

6. Creative people are humble and proud at the same time.

7. Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.... "creative boys are more sensitive and less aggressive than their male peers"

8.Creative people are both rebellious and conservative. It is impossible to be creative without having first internalized an area of culture...

9.Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.

10.Creative people's openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment.

I prob agree with 75% of that... what do you think?
