Creative Soundtrack, Volume 3
I discovered La Blogotheque's Take Away Shows and, boy, have they been getting me through a lot of work sessions this week! It's an awesome music video series based in France where musicians perform in unusual places around town. Here's a few favorites.
Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
Creative Soundtrack, Volume 2
I hope you enjoyed last week's first installment of my Creative Soundtrack series. I've been deep into prep for the National Stationery Show and the songs below have helped me get through this week. Have a great weekend!Creative Soundtrack
Anyone who knows me knows that I love music. I'm always on the lookout for new musicians to follow and have been putting together an annual "Best Of" mix for friends for over 10 years. As a new feature on the blog, I hope to share some of my new discoveries and old favorites - the tunes I listen to during the day while I'm working in my studio. Without further adieu, my first creative soundtrack!Small Business Resources: Your Brand's Story
As my business grows, I'm always considering new ways to tell my brand's story and evolution. One of the best brand stories I have recently come across is this stop-motion animated video from the wonderful design/fabric company Skinny laMinx. It is so great! It also goes to show you don't need a huge marketing budget, voiceovers, or crazy movie making skills to make a fun video that honestly represents what your brand is about.Creative Inspiration: SXSW Talk from Tina Roth Eisenberg
South by Southwest, the huge tech/film/music conference that takes over Austin every March, has been going for a week now. While I didn't shell out the big bucks for a badge this year, I was happy to see that many of the keynote speeches have been posted online. I just finished watching one from Tina Roth Eisenberg, the creator behind the design blog swissmiss, "designy" temporary tattoo company Tattly, and the Creative Mornings series. In her talk, Tina outlines the rules that she lives by personally and professionally. I found her talk so encouraging for a creative business owner like myself - acknowledging the joy that comes in being about to do what you love and confronting the inherent risks, challenges, and opportunities that arise. Check it out!
