Walkovitz_Project First Draft: In Class

Lupe Fiasco

Lupe is a rapper who makes a track before he adds the words. I think that his creative process is useful because he doesn’t sit down and write it all at once; he works on it as it comes to him. This gives him the best product because he is not trying to force the lyrics. He takes breaks and goes back and listens to what he said before he adds more. This can be used in writing to minimize confusion and add fluency to the paper. He says that everyone has their own way of doing things and it’s just up to you to determine yours.

J Mays

J Mays is a car designer for Ford Motor Company. In his process of creation, he takes baby steps and walks through the whole process. This could be used in writing just as he uses it for making cars. First, he finds his inspiration for creating, just like a writer could for writing. Then he tries to determine how he will bring these elements together to create an outline of the final product. This turns into a draft, or a sketch for him, which slowly comes together to create the entire car.

Tim Burton

Tim Burton has made many movies, such as Alice in Wonderland. His creative style does not really help me with writing. He makes sketches just based on things that he likes and you can’t always write about what you like. Burton also just sits in silence and doodles to get ideas and be inside of his own head. I think that this could possibly help with writing by just sitting down and thinking about your thoughts and just jotting quick notes on paper. This could then be developed into the final project.
