Creative Exercise #5: Numbers & Letters

OK... so here is another creative exercise from the book, "Caffeine For The Creative Mind" by Stefan Mamaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield. The book is a collection of 250 exercises to help "wake up your brain". Remember... the only way that this is going to work is if YOU PARTICIPATE. So... each time I post an exercise... YOU have to play along... OK? If you are just joining us... you can go back and do the first 3 to catch up if you'd like. Some of the exercises will seem a little silly at first... but they are designed to get you to think outside of the box.

This one is called "Numbers & Letters". We have a hard time looking at numbers and letters as anything but what they truly are. We often don't see the beauty in the form. Only when we turn them inside out and upside down... do we really begin to appreciate their design.

You task for today is just that. Type or write your full name using any combination of numbers and letters. The only catch is... you cannot use them for what they actually are. So if your name starts with a "D" (like mine)... you can use a 9 for a lower case "d" by flipping it and then turning it upside down. You just can't use an actual "D' or "d". Make sense? Give it a try.

Here's mine:
