Creativity is all about constraining yourself— not having unlimited options. By stepping in the shackles, you will set yourself free. Freedom is limitations.
Creative constraints are all about squeezing yourself into limitation which forces you to be creative.
Thinking about creative constraints is refreshing. Why? In modern society, we are always trying to buy solutions to our problems. Rather— we should try to purposefully restrain ourself from buying our problems, and trying to be inventive within limited means.
Let us remember the motto “Hunger breeds sophistication.” If you don’t have enough free time, money, or “talent” — think of how these can be benefits, and a “creative constraint.” — Eric Kim
