The best sourcebooks aid this process by providing designers with vital mental stimulation.In The Little Book of Creativity, David E. Carter has taken a bold new approach. Instead of organizing categories by project type or medium (advertising, brochures, etc.), he has categorized over two hundred examples of creative work into concept categories such as photo manipulation, layout, typographic, texture, surprise, size and other creative areas. The result is a treasure trove of source material for what Carter calls “solitary brainstorming.”
