 My approach to creativity is brainstorming. I write my ideas down and choose which ones I would follow through with because they stick out the most. and criticize whatever idea I decide to do until it's near perfect. A project I was proud of was a note I wrote for someone, it was this pull-down note that was closed like a book at first but once you pull it down all the pages with the words are visible. I made that note 23 pages long it was a month process. first writing them on a document and then after finishing it, revising it and making it better. then writing the revised version handwritten which took the longest.
