Three ways to approach creative work

1. Skills-based: Here’s what I know how to do; what interesting things can I do with my tools? 2. End product: Here’s what I want to do; what tools would let me do that, or how can I use my tools to do that? 3. Process focused: Here’s what tools I want to use; what project would let me use (and/or learn how to use) them? (“Tools” here is also standing in for skills and media / formats.)
