Surf Art: A brief history of surfing design & culture - The Creative Edge

Surf Art: A brief history of surfing design & culture - The Creative Edge | Communicate...and how! | Scoop.it

To understand the development of surf art, you need to understand the development of the surfboard—a paradigmatic design object in itself, with an amazing history in the 20th century.


The guys (mostly denizens of Californian and Hawaiian beaches) who developed the surfboard as we know it were often social outsiders. Behind the clean lines and perfectionism of their boards was a desire to create a lifestyle outside of the normal working man’s routine. So it’s no surprise that surfing design eventually blossomed into the hyper-expressive and offbeat style that we now know.


But let’s start at the beginning to see how this awesome story unfolded....

50 Amazing Design Blogs Every Creative Needs to Bookmark

50 Amazing Design Blogs Every Creative Needs to Bookmark | Communicate...and how! | Scoop.it

Successful creatives have one thing in common: they're always looking at fresh material to inspire their work. As much as you'd like to sit down and pull from an unlimited well of design ideas, there is no such thing as inspiration in isolation. Radically innovative work demands equally inventive sources. Don't feel guilty for keeping your eyes and ears open to what other creatives are doing, especially if it's the work they're most proud of: these pieces have the potential to take your own work to places where it's never been before!


A word of caution: don't let this inspiration hunting derail you from actual creation. The happiest creatives, as we brought up in this article, don't let comparison get a point where it negatively affects their output.


Today, I'll share 50 of the most inspiring and influential blogs curated by successful creatives. In doing so, we'll be looking at 10 categories....

60+ Ideas for How To Be A Creative Thought Leader – Cool PREZI Included! - The Future of Ink

60+ Ideas for How To Be A Creative Thought Leader – Cool PREZI Included! - The Future of Ink | Communicate...and how! | Scoop.it
Being recognized as a Creative Thought Leader in your niche takes you from being “just another expert to expert” to being someone who really stands out.

I can deliver marketing formulas (or what I call marketing prescriptions) all day long.  But it’s not enough to just “do marketing” – you want to make it engaging, educational, inspirational and personally compelling.

You can have incredible content but if no one pays attention, if you are lost in the crowd – it won’t help your message, your business or all those people you want to reach. You’ll be a “best kept secret.”  We don’t want that!

* Understanding Dsylexia

* Identifying Dyslexia

* How to Teach Dyslexic Students

* Personalizing Dyslexia

The resources include videos and articles/posts as well as a link to a great website at Yale. And if you have a student in your class how is dyslexic they might be interested in learning that the following people were also dyslexic: Albert Einstein, Steven Jobs, Walt Disney, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg were also dyslexic.

Western Nutrition News's curator insight, October 10, 2014 6:37 AM

very worthwhile!  Did you know that th earliest sign of dyslexia is difficulty telling right from left?  and that the kids will blithely interchange hands, not even knowing that they're doing it?
