Reading across a diverse range of topics is a good sign of maturing craft and designers. Boon's obsession with design and the human condition has led him to discover often unconventional but powerful perspectives through books. He will share how some of these books have influenced and shaped him as a designer, and talk about how that has supported his work with complex problem spaces.
Here are the slides from the recent parent learning community workshop:Creativity in Schools. Beginning with defining, 'Creativity', participants engaged with the hugely inspiring TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson. The succeeding workshop encouraged further dialogue and collaboration across the whole school community including clay avatar modeling and spontaneous performance and choreography by grade 6 students.
Presentation I delivered at the Canadian Marketing Association's conference on creativity Sept 27th. Presentation explores research on where good ideas come from and how to create processes that manufacture creativity.
Ideas and practices for regularly gathering sources of inspiration, eliminating blocks to more easily access creative states, prolong them, and leverage their power to develop and execute great work.
Ever wondered why some people are so talented creatively while you're not? It's not just a gift this creative lark - it's also a skill, and like any skill it needs time and practice to hone it.
We're influenced by the creativity we see around - but in art, other design work, nature and in our every day belief and attitude to life.
The more your eyes are open - the more you'll see the creativity surrounding you.
Here at Presented, we've put together a small presentation on what we think are the essential tips about how to reveal your inner creativity.
Enjoy!

Undesigned for: re-thinking interaciton through game-play designMaind Interaction
This workshop provides a game session for training participants in using alternatively methods for ideas generations in the design area of activities and functions permitted by physical interfaces. Instead of fixed procedure of design thinking we propose models useful to criticize existing artefacts and to structure the intuitions in a collaborative context. In this way Game-Play Design approach will support the design practice in a variety of ways, e.g. by facilitating lateral thinking training methods, offering tools appropriate to work by context techniques, investigating potential interfaces development, or by providing opportunities for collaborative design exploration and new concepts generation.
Persons interested in participating should assume the role of gamers in predicting collaboratively novel uses of well-known objects placed in their unrelated scenarios. A potential outcome is to acquire a groundwork building method for managing and analyzing real-world scenarios of interaction with objects and environments. A further goal is to experiment unusual game design situations fruitful to stimulate the concepts generation using game materials furnished to support the overcoming of conditioning processes.
The training in self-conscious design by game-play method could bring benefits to several design fields, such as service, urban, interaction and product design. In this perspective the workshop aims to suggest a subversive operation by anticipating the user needs without restrictions. The collaborative brainstorming method is intended to open design dialogues by removing the limits and conventions of the creative thinking.

This is really a 2 hour presentation I give to high school students cut down to 3 minutes. And it all started one day,on a plane,on my way to TED,7 years ago.And in the seat next to me was a high school student,a teenager,and she came from a really poor family and she wanted to make something of her life.And she asked me a simple little question.
"what leads to success?"
And I felt really badly because I couldn’t give her a good answer. So I get off the plane and I come to TED. And I think, Jesus, I’m in the middle of a room with successful people. So, why don’t I ask them -what helped them succeed and pass it onto kids.
