Creative Idea of the Day - 2025 09


|    idealog    home

This will be the last collection, mes amis. All of these ideas and those already posted have been sorted out into categorised posts, and the Creative Idea of the Day will be no more. I thought categories would be better for those searching for something specific.

Every day on my Idealog account on Bluesky - except for the days I forget - I share a quick creative idea and archive the month's list here on the last day.

  1. Happy Labour Day! Make a list of the things you'd want in a workplace, work life. Collective? Socialist? Flexible?
  2. Create a map of an imaginary place.
  3. Create a poem using text from a magazine article.
  4. Capture a visual that represents a sound.
  5. Capture a moment of joy.
  6. If you didn't know what a person would like, gift cards aside, what would you give them for their birthday?
  7. Make a cartoon inspired by something you read - news, human interest, educational, a book, a sign, a pamphlet, etc.
  8. Capture a shot of something peaceful.
  9. What would you like your superpower to be?
  10. Combine travel writing with geocaching, documenting places visited, hidden and found treasures encountered, and recording it in whatever way you see fit.
  11. Create a still life, digital or otherwise, of mechanical things.
  12. Focus on sensory experiences - sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures you encounter.
  13. Make a candle or soap using natural ingredients.
  14. Choose images of sunsets/sunrises and arrange them in a gradient, or whatever way suits you best.
  15. Have a movie marathon of films released the year you were born.
  16. Capture something celebratory.
  17. Create something using only shapes.
  18. Embroider a simple design onto a piece of clothing.
  19. Leave a positive comment on someone's social media post.
  20. What's the best vacation you've ever been on?
  21. Create a playlist that tells a story.
  22. Create your own artist's book, incorporating your artwork, poetry, stories, and notes.
  23. What is your earliest memory?
  24. Commit to a physical challenge.
  25. Make a miniature world using broken pottery, wire, small trinkets, and other items.
  26. Create a collage that combines found poetry with nature images or citcyscapes.
  27. Start a book from a genre you've never read before.
  28. What are you going to try today that you've never tried before?
  29. Make an I prefer list - this to that. Like. I prefer black ink pens to blue, oranges to apples, punk to metal.
  30. Create a typography-based piece using quotes or lyrics.
