Today’s learn comes courtesy of “the show” from zefrank. Click the image below to learn about the “That makes me think of…” technique. Be warned though zefrank is just a little bit radical, which is why you should be watching him.
Have you ever tried to brainstorm and found yourself with a symptom not too far removed from the fabled writers block?
Sometimes we just need a little kickstart and I have just the thing – the “A to Z” method.
It’s pretty simple really and just builds upon word association almost, where you find a connected word which just happens to begin with the letter you are thinking of. Start at A and work your way through to Z until you have a list of stuff that you can run back through again to kick off more ideas.
Can’t think of an associated word? No problem just think of any word, the crazier the better. You never know what can be sparked off by the most bizarre things.
This week we are launching a regular series of posts on new techniques for brainstorming.
Let’s kick it all off with a visual.
We all know that a picture says a thousand words, right? Well why not try brainstorming via the power of imagery.
I found this image on flickr but not by mindlessly trawling through the millions of pictures tagged with the word brainstorm. Instead I used a tool called FlickrStorm, whose entire purpose is to help the user brainstorm by not only returning much more specific image search results but also throwing in a few wild cards.
Try it for yourself, it’s a great way to kick things off.
