LIA Cast 309 - Projects, Products, and Choosing a Framing for Creative Work

How do we think about projects and products? Jerzy and Rob recently watched Jake Parker’s video on "you need a product not a project" which prompts our conversation in this episode. Jerzy and Rob consider what we mean by projects and products and see all kinds of useful tools in both categories. We explore conceptual tools you can pick and choose from to make your own creative development work for you.

LIA Cast 305 - Which Mental Model for Your Creative Project?

Creative process has an objective progression in some ways. There you are with an idea at one point in time, stuff happens, now you are in the future with something you created. Would you do your next project in the same way? How much do you consider structuring your work along the way?

Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion about our mental models for our projects, digging into examples of our recent work, and in part extending the conversation from LIA 149 - Chunking Your Workflow.
