Talks for "creativity" (2)
Wizards, Lawnmowers, and Hovercrafts

Jack McBain delivers an engaging talk about managing creativity, maintaining perspective, and building authentic products. He discusses how creativity is a renewable resource that needs to be managed carefully, shares insights about avoiding narrow perspectives through an amusing RadioShack anecdote, and emphasizes the importance of authenticity in product development and marketing.

Design for the Rest of Us

Jack McDade shares insights on how developers can improve their design skills through a three-phase process: gathering inspiration, experimenting with copy work, and unleashing creativity. He emphasizes that good design guides users willingly toward mutual goals, and developers can learn design by collecting inspiration, practicing through experiments, and combining elements to create original work. The talk draws parallels between this creative process and Willy Wonka's approach to innovation.
