Blog post 1 creativity. 


This week, I tried the “One by Five” creativity exercise from The Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM. The idea is simple: take an ordinary object and change one thing about it five times. I started with a plain envelope. I folded it differently, trimmed an edge, drew waves on it, added stickers, and finally wrote “Creative Passport” on the front. What began as a boring envelope became a tiny symbol of imagination and travel.

What I learned:

Small, steady changes unlock big ideas.

Creativity grows through play, not perfection.

Reflection helps you see how small tweaks shift meaning.

This five-step process reminded me that creativity doesn’t require special tools just curiosity and the courage to change one thing at a time.

For this project I created an 11×17 two-page magazine spread about my favorite hobby, photography. I wrote about how photography became important in my life and how it started when my first daughter was born. I wanted the article to tell a personal story about how photography allows me to capture memories of my family and preserve moments that would otherwise pass quickly. The layout includes a large headline, section titles, pull quotes, and multiple photographs that support the story visually. When designing the spread, I focused on creating a clear visual hierarchy so that the reader’s eye natu...
