ESSENTIAL ADVICE FOR IN-HOUSE INSPIRATION

Five ways to generate creative ideas when operating on the inside

1. GET TO KNOW THE BUSINESS
Without a knowledge of your business it’s hard to generate creative ideas that are applicable and effective. So spend time on the shop floor (literally, if necessary). Understanding the business principles your company strives for and the market in which it operates will help you refine your work and target your creative output more clearly.

2. EXPERIMENT
As an ‘internal resource’ you will no doubt be in demand, but try and block off some free time - perhaps a Friday aft ernoon – for creative development and experimentation. Challenge your self and your team: can you make something more efficient? Add more impact or information? Identify opportunities to improve and experiment .

3. NETWORK
Try and build a contacts book made up of a wide variety of external agency contributors and other creatives in your local network. Go to socials and events and make contacts. Just because you’re not part of the design service industry doesn’t mean you’re not a design professional. Learn and share.

4. MIX IT UP
Using your contacts try and work with external agencies on larger projects to get an outsider’s experience and point of view . You’re the client and creative lead at all times, but do be open-minded and allow others to inspire you and add the resources and skills your team might lack.

5. BE A DESIGN SHERIFF
You should monitor your company’s creative output , and up date and circulate your in-house branding guide lines regularly. If you see regular misuses of the company’s branding then think about what you can do to solve the issue rather than just reprimanding the culprit. Create the design laws and help enforce them .

Lyricist：Takeshi Hosomi Composer：Takeshi Hosomi You said I can see the lights beneath Like a town under the clouds Just a bit of fear is fine Today Waiting for the shooting stars Crane my neck to look up at them When you laugh I feel your pain When the night is getting dark I can't stop looking into When the sky is getting cold I can't stop falling into When the time is getting old today Let's just say yeah Let me see the morning light Ditch a fake TV smile And you said to no one there Like 3, 2, 1 Go When we see the rising sun Then I feel your body getting warm You said Thought the world was completely dark I can still see my own track It's the beauty of its heart Today Not so perfect weather wise Hope it shows before the dawn When you smile I see your pain When the night is getting dark I can't stop looking into When the sky is getting cold I can't stop falling into When the

Takeshi Hosomi (ELLEGARDEN) Interview in US (2006)

"Thank you so much guy, america has been so great, and we are having a fantastic time here, really, thank you so much!" Takeshi said, waving--and it wasn't the usual rehearsed, typical lead singer chater. It was honest, from the heart, and off the cuff. Takeshi comes off as the nicest guy in j-rock, onstage and off. The whole band came out afterward and spent the whole night chatting with fans, with a 6am flight to new york looming, Nice! Less than an hour after bringing the house down for the first time in north america at SXSW 2006, and with a new CD just out and a nine-city tour on the horizon, Ellegarden's Takeshi Hosomi found a not-too-noisy corner of Austin's Japanese-occupied Brush Square Park and talked about marriage, money, and why TV sucks with purple SKY's Go Wells: Go Wells: So this is your first gig in america; how are you enjoying it? Takeshi Hosomi: You know, we are now making kinda big sales back in japan, and we're well known. All
