Product Description

FINALLY, ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION: HOW ARE BIG IDEAS BORN?





Foreword by Sally Hogshead, author of Fascinate: Your 7 Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation



Creative directors, art directors and advertising copywriters are some of the great artists and thinkers of our time. Considering the scope and power of their influence in our culture, that's not such a crazy idea.



Take an intimate look into the creative processes of some of the top minds in the advertising industry. Get inspired as you learn about the people behind smart ad campaigns and see how they visualize their own search for a great idea.



You'll find outstanding work from an eclectic mix of agencies, including TBWA\CHIAT\DAY, The Jupiter Drawing Room, Wieden+Kennedy, McGarryBowen, McCann Erickson, Ogilvy & Mather, Carmichael Lynch and 72andSunny.



The Creative Process Illustrated represents a rare and remarkable look at the minds that fuel the ad industry. You'll be inspired to fresh thinking and better work immediately. Inside you'll find:





  • Process canvases—sketches that visually represent the thought process leading to an idea, from some of the best minds in advertising.



  • Profiles—insightful commentary from contributors, samples of their favorite work, perspectives from their colleagues and details of their professional accomplishments.




  • Practical analysis—a breakdown of models of creativity, creativity as a problem-solving device, and putting the creative process to work for you.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and surprisingly unoriginal, Dec 12 2010
    By Dan Bergevin - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: The Creative Process Illustrated: How Advertising's Big Ideas Are Born (Paperback)
    I just finished reading this book from front to back. It was very interesting and a lot of fun.

    One thing you'll learn is that the creative process, as described by James Webb Young in his 1965 book A Technique for Producing Ideas, is the same for all the people who contributed to The Creative Process Illustrated. They all just quote Young in illustrated format, using fish or networks or ink blots, and some of them don't even seem aware that they're using Young's technique at all. This was probably the most profound insight in this book.

    In short, The Creative Process Illustrated is the long scenic route through Young's technique. Young's book is the shortcut. Some people like long, scenic drives, and others don't. If you're in doubt, get both books and go from there.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, Oct 22 2011
    By tavodu - Published on Amazon.com

    I love this book. You can see how different a creative mind thinks compared to another. There's an irreverent and very human side of the designers revealed through their sketches/notes/explanations of the creative process, and you can tell by the cover. The only thing I don't love about this book is its size. The pages are too large and I cannot carry it around without bending its corners. Other than that, it is an excellent book. If you're looking for a more serious, text-only book I recommend Millman's How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic concept, fascinating read, Sep 20 2010
    By discerning reader - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: The Creative Process Illustrated: How Advertising's Big Ideas Are Born (Paperback)
    This book falls into the category of, "Why didn't anyone think of this before?" Griffin and Morrison asked rock stars of the advertising industry to draw the process of how they come up with the ideas that influence popular culture through advertising. It's incredible to see how so many exceptionally creative people think, and it's nothing short of amazing that they can conceptualize the process for us in pictures. The authors' analysis of the process behind creativity is thought-provoking and inspiring.

    A great read for anyone who's in the advertising field or studying advertising as a major, but also entertaining and informative for the intelligent layperson.

    I predict that this book will be talked about for years to come and will establish itself as a staple of advertising education.
