Creativity comes from absorbing many things

This graphic nails how creativity really works. Your brain’s a tank, and every bit of info you pour in — from books, tweets, videos, or posts — fills it up. When the tank’s full, creativity spills out.

Why It Works

• Creativity isn’t random, it’s recombination.
• Inputs shape outputs — better ideas come from better sources.
• Variety sparks unexpected connections.
• Mixing channels (visual, written, conversational) keeps ideas fresh.

Real-World Examples

• Pixar’s team studies art, science, and storytelling before every film.
• Copywriters read outside marketing — novels, psychology, comedy.
• TikTok creators remix trending audio with niche interests.
• Designers pull color palettes from nature and architecture.

Fill your tank often, from many taps, and the faucet of creativity won’t run dry.
