TED Talks are everything. I am addicted to the inspirational and informative talks given by creatives and industry professionals. They are entertaining and I always learn something new! This TED Talk by Chip Kidd on how he comes up with ideas for book cover designs is nothing short of brilliant.

I started reading, Make Your Mark: The Creative's Guide to Building A Business with Impact after seeing it on the My Creative Connection Instagram feed. I'm only 20 pages in and I'm having all kinds of A-HA moments. Great book for creative entrepreneurs to read. In the beginning of the book, the author drops this gem: Art, without distribution and discover, moves nobody. Did it ever exist? Science, without clear explanation and advocacy, won't be understood by the masses. Will it make an impact? It makes you examine the purpose behind your work! I'm looking forward to applying the practical guidelines that the author provides throughout the book. I'm already feeling inspired! What are you reading?
