One Skull a Day




Trying to learn more about the design process and ideas generation I bumped into Noah Scalin skulls. One day in June 2007 Scalin decided to make a skull (or the representation of one) every day for a year. He commit himself to a year of creative work away of the boundaries of the client brief. He created a simple and structured brief to be meet every day, for and by himself. 

The most interesting thing is that you can tell that once he had used up regular responses, he was pushed to experiment and develop his creativity to an other level (you can see the evolution in his techniques and results day after day). 
The project didn't just help Scalin with his creativity, improved as well his photography skills and the ability to create good work in short deadlines.

I found Scalin sculls really inspiring and his method a clever way to exercise your skills. You can find his skulls (and the skulls of the people by him inspired) in his blog Skull-A-Day.

Ole!
