As calendars fill up and projects return, it's easy to make creativity feel heavier than it needs to be.

What if the best way to get back to your routine... is by doing less?

Alexander Calder reminds us that movement creates life. His mobiles weren't just sculptures, they were proof that lightness can be powerful.

As you return from summer, ask yourself:
What can you let go of to make space for better ideas?

If every tool promises to make creativity faster, easier, and more efficient…
why does creative work sometimes feel more repetitive than ever?

One of the recurring tensions explored throughout Designing Creative Tools is the difference between supporting creativity and standardizing it. The book questions what happens when recommendation systems, templates, and optimization begin shaping not just how we work, but what we end up making.

The quote in this post touches exactly on that discomfort: when creation becomes content production, speed can quietly replace experimentation. A relevant read for anyone trying to protect curiosity in an increasingly automated workflow.

Artist and photographer .postma is one of the 32 artists featured in Collage Portrait Memory Game. Based in Amsterdam, she creates surreal portrait collages using found vintage photographs, cutting, layering, and recombining faces into entirely new identities.

One artist. One portrait. Part of a memory game built from 32 unique creative perspectives!

Let’s be real: nobody enjoys sorting socks.

And anyone claiming they love matching laundry is either lying or deeply suspicious.
But somehow, Odd Socks Memory Game turns the universal chaos of mismatched socks into something strangely addictive. Tiny differences, almost-identical patterns, false confidence, it captures the exact energy of laundry day, minus the folding.

The only laundry you'll willingly do for fun!

Everyone approaches Imagine Me differently.

Some players try to build harmonious portraits. Others create the most chaotic combinations possible. And somehow, both approaches end up revealing something about the person making them.

The revised edition expands the possibilities even further, turning every round into a mix of storytelling, projection, and improvisation, where the made-up characters often feel strangely familiar.

A reminder that imagination says as much about the creator as the creation itself.
Some players try to build harmonious portraits. Others create the most chaotic combinations possible. And somehow, both approaches reveal something about the person making them.
