inspiring creativity

 It is hard to force inspiration... With that being said, how could an individual spark up enough creative juice when presented with a project on the spot. Well, we see this happen all the time whether you're at school or at work people will be presented with a problem and have to think of a creative solution. A way to inspire on the spot creative thinking is to go blank. When I think about the task at hand I end up over thinking and nothing ever gets anywhere, when I have a brain fart, or I'm taking a test, or trying to decide what to wear I honestly allow my mind to think about other things. I go blank and play with my nails or hair, sometimes ill just start drawing and I wait for the answer or idea to come. For me it does not take that long but it can, and if you feel like allowing your mind to wonder into other thoughts for too long another solution could be to replay what you already know. If your task was to make a poster you could think about every poster you have ever seen, pull out individual characteristics you liked, things you wish were different, and create your own poster based off the knowledge of things you have seen before. This is creative cause it is unique to your interests.
