7 Creative Principles By John Lasseter

I ran across this article of John Lasseter giving advice on creative principles, thanks to Darren Rawlings (who happens to be a professional illustrator).

Here are the subjects Lasseter goes over in the article:

1. Never Come Up With Just One Idea.
2. Remember the First Laugh.
3. Quality is a Great Business Plan. Period.
4. It's the Team, Stupid.
5. Fun Invokes Creativity, Not Competition
6. Creative Output Always Reflects the Person on Top.
7. Surround Yourself with Creative People Whom You Trust.

I really think what he spoke on can work, not just for animation, but also graphic design and other artistic outlets. I hope this read will be inspiring and interesting. Have a great weekend! :)
