Looking To Boost Those Creative Juices? Here Are Some Books That Will Help You To Be More Creative

1. Creative Pep Talk: Inspiration from 50 Artists, by Andy J. Miller

Andy J. Miller (a.k.a. Andy J. Pizza) is a freelance illustrator who has worked for the New York Times, Google, YouTube, and a variety of other companies. This book, which goes along with Miller’s popular podcast, Creative Pep Talk, is jam-packed with brilliantly illustrated advice from top creative experts. Each featured artist discusses their creative process, mindset, and more. This book is especially useful for graphic designers and hand-letterers because each little pep-talk is accompanied by amazing graphics.

2. Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All, by Tom and David Kelley

This book is another that focuses on the creative potential that everyone has inside them, even if they wouldn’t label themselves an “artist,” for people seeking motivation in the realm of business or personal branding. In this context, creativity is a skill that should be practiced and cultivated in order to overcome difficulties in our job and personal lives. This is the book for you if you need a boost of courage and an action plan for your career.

3. Wreck This Journal, by Keri Smith

Now let’s go on to something altogether different… Many of us have come across a Wreck This Journal in a bookstore or art gallery. Have you ever had the courage to take one up? This art journaling classic challenges us to let go of preconceptions and rediscover the joy of transforming each page into something odd and fresh. Respond to prompts instead of facing the terror of the blank page, and let your expectations be violated.
