The Brilliant creative team blog

Brilliant HQ has been a hive of mega busy activity over the last two+ months and I have had no time to browse a single scrap of internet... and this is my excuse for neglecting my blogging duties.

With so much to catch up on and so much cool stuff to be seen and shared, it's tough to decide what to start with.

This series of videos by Kirby Ferguson is called Everything is a Remix which explores copying, sampling, tweaking, thieving and general inspirational homages within the nature of ideas and creativity... fun right!

These short films are extremely informative, nicely created and will probably blow what you thought to be 'an original concept' out the water.

I paid a visit to the Royal Society?s summer science exhibition "See Further" at the Southbank Centre on Sunday.

It was not only enjoyable, but also truly enlightening.

I?ve always found creative inspiration in nature, just as human kind has since time immemorial. Science helps us to delve deeply into the contrasting constituents of nature: symmetry and asymmetry; simplicity and complexity; order and chaos.

Sometimes taking a step back from contemporary design to consider the world around us yields valuable insights into the nature of creativity.
