Leo Burnett - Creative Process

Creative Process

His creative process could be summed up in three points:

  1. 'There is an inherent drama in every product. Our No.1 job is to dig for it and capitalize on it.'
  2. 'When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.'
  3. 'Steep yourself in your subject, work like hell, and love, honor and obey your hunches.'

Famous quotes containing the words creative and/or process:

    One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
