Moodstream: In The Mood To Get Ideas

Embedded Video – Thirty Day Challenge The Getting Of Ideas…

---

On this first day of The Thirty Day Challenge, the Digital Natives had to get creative and generate ideas for a niche market.  Sounds very business-like, doesn’t it?

Hmm… I’ve been thinking that it sounds a lot like generating a thesis topic in school, but I won’t mention it to some of the writing-phobic Teens.

Anyway, we have no problem generating a huge, long list of interesting topics.  And, since we’ve been warned to turn off our internal editing monitors, we’re just going to leave it at that.

Now, since it’s Friday, and time for the weekly Friday Find, I’m going to share one of the coolest sites online to put you into a creative mood: Moodstream.

Spin a wheel to select music and images tailored to your mood, then add image and song selections to a mood board.  After customizing your mood board, save it to play whenever you need a little inspiration.

And, since the footage and photos are from Getty Images, you can be sure that they are gorgeous and often thought-provoking. 

Hopefully, you’ll stay focused on the task at hand, whatever it is, and you won’t be inclined to create an Ed Dale Tribute (like my daughter) or veer off into Change Me – The Power of Imagery To Create Change.  Oh, well, I’m sure there is value in tangential thinking. 

Yes, I know there is.  Don’t you think?
