Oblique Strategies

At the end of the Origins Unit, Kate recommended that I should look at Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's 'Oblique Strategies', a deck of cards from 1975 that they used when stuck or producing unoriginal work to stimulate their creativity. They had some really good ideas, so I decided to make my own deck, by whitewashing some playing cards and tailoring phrases to art rather than music, and coming up with some of my own phrases. I made a box for them, so I can carry them with me and use them when I need shaking up or just for inspiration.
