How to come up with a new creative idea?
Coming up with new ideas can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are a few tips that may help you generate creative ideas:
- Keep an open mind: Try not to dismiss ideas too quickly and stay open to new and unconventional ideas.
- Take breaks: Step away from your work and give yourself time to relax and let your mind wander. This can help spark new ideas.
- Seek out new experiences: Exposing yourself to new people, cultures, and experiences can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas.
- Collaborate with others: Working with a group of people can lead to a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
- Use brainstorming techniques: Brainstorming is a popular method for generating ideas in which a group of people come together to generate as many ideas as possible, without evaluating them.
- Ask “what if” questions: Asking questions such as “what if we did this differently?” or “what if we combined these two ideas?” can help stimulate new ideas.
- Keep a journal: Writing down your ideas as they come to you can help you capture and later review and expand upon them.
Remember, coming up with new ideas is a process and it may take some time and effort. It’s important to be patient and persistent, and not to get discouraged if you don’t have a great idea right away.

How to deal with an art copycat – ARTiful: painting demos
“Then you can choose to take the high road, consider that imitation is a form of flattery so to speak and decide to not spend too much energy on the issue. Publicize your art as much as you can and make it sure serious buyers and art galleries know that your style is genuinely yours. Copycats usually get tired after a while: after all there is not much personal satisfaction in copying and they will often go from copying one artist to copying another. What they are copying is also something you did in the past, and because you are the creative force behind the art that is being copied, you often moved on to the next step in your art journey being always one step ahead. You own the creative tools, they are just replicating an end product.”

“When you’re doing something for the first time, you don’t know it’s going to work. You spend seven or eight years working on something, and then it’s copied. I have to be honest: the first thing I can think, all those weekends that I could have at home with my family but didn’t. I think it’s theft, and it’s lazy.”
— Jonathan Ive
