75 Tools for Creative Thinking

75 Tools For Creative Thinking is a brand new card set that stimulates your creative thinking in various stages of any process or situation where new ideas are desired. Being applicable to a diverse range of professions and situations, 75 Tools For Creative Thinking suits anyone who is interested in exercising and improving his or her creativity.

The toolbox consists of 5 card decks:
1. Get Started
2. Check Around
3. Break It Down
4. Break Free
5. Evaluate & Select.

The individual tools within these decks can be used independently, but can also form strings of multiple tools for specific challenges. Each card describes a tool and suggests step by step how to use it. Next to that, each card shows the amount of people needed and how much time it takes to execute.

75 Tools For Creative Thinking was created by Dutch design and strategy studio Booreiland. Over the years the studio has always been seeking for ways to optimize its creative processes, using all kinds of creativity tools. Some of them originating from the practices within the studio, others inspired by methods and tools from design, service and marketing fields. The studio’s own desire to make the best use of the tools, to make them available, and clear and simple to use at any time has now resulted in 75 Tools For Creative Thinking, intended for everyone who needs creative inspiration.
