Let’s play a little name game 
You can use any resource you have available to you - the internet, books, friends or strangers, your address book - whatever you need.

The idea behind Break Away is to let your mind go and see if it will break away from your normal thought patterns.
The word is “Guide”
Here’s how it works:
1. Write the Break Away Word in the center of a paper (or if you’re lucky - a whiteboard).
2. Write/Draw the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the Break Away Word.
3. Write/Draw the next thing that comes to mind.
4. Continue the process for 10 minutes or until nothing new comes to mind
Let your pen or pencil find its own way, don’t try to force any associations into a pattern.
When you’re done, take a look at your paper/whiteboard. Where did you end up? Are there any connections that surprise you?

Tags:Here’s a simple, but not necessarily easy exercise to expand your creativity and attention. For each letter of the alphabet, come up with the name of a language.
Can you complete the list without looking at an online database or search? How many can your friends come up with? Which letter was the most difficult to find?
Which letters spawned mini-lists? How many do you watch? How many of the names evoke strong feelings for you?
Tags:An inspiration tag is just a phrase or two meant to give you a jumpstart on your creative expression. So read the tag below and interpret it in a creative way. There are no limitations on the medium. In fact we’d love to see a visual or listen to an audio interpretation. Admittedly, some of the tags will lend themselves more to a written format than any other.
So here it is - Tag! You’re It! Have fun!
