KCDesignCore is kicking off the "back to school" season with an evening of creativity boot camp, featuring KC's own six-time author, Stefan Mumaw, and a session affectionately called "Becoming an Idea Witchdoctor."
About the session:
We live in an on-demand world. Microwaves cook 4-course meals in 30 seconds. We can call space from our pockets. Even flu shots have drive-thru lanes. As creatives, we're expected to pull mind-blowing ideas out of thin air at the drop of a hat and we're asked to do it every day. It's impossible, right? What if it wasn't. Creative Boot Camp author Stefan Mumaw will show you how. He'll whimsically illustrate each line of the 3-part spell for generating quality ideas quickly and provide the blueprint to repeatable idea harvesting. From comedy improv rituals to problem design remedies, attendees will leave with heads shrinking, minds spinning and medicine bags brimming with all the tools necessary to become an idea witchdoctor.
About the presenter: Stefan Mumaw is the Director of Creative Strategy at Hint, a Kansas City creative content & experience design shop. He has authored six books, the most recent being Creative Boot Camp, a 30-day crash course on creativity. Previously, he authored Chasing the Monster Idea, co-authored Caffeine for the Creative Team and Caffeine for the Creative Mind with Wendy Lee Oldfield, as well as Redesigning Websites and Simple Websites. He has spoken at numerous creative industry gatherings over the years and been known to embarrass himself and those around him if given the opportunity.
