30 Days of Creativity 2021
During 2020, Atlassians channeled their fear, frustration, and focus, and joined in on the 30 days of creativity during COVID. The premise was simple. Create something every day for 30 days in the same material and theme.
This year we were again experiencing stay-at-home orders, with an every-rising daily COVID infection count, but despite this, Atlassians dug deep, tapped into their creativity, and took on another 30-day challenge.
The highs and lows of the challenge
Creating something every day for 30 days in the same material and theme is both daunting and exhilarating, depending on your view of a half-full/empty glass. Why some of the greatest artists have used this process - Asimov, Wassily Kandinsky, Philippe Baudelocque, Keith Haring, and Lefty Out There.
Feedback from the 50 or so legendary Atlassians that took part, was they were glad to have participated. Many people find the removal of expectations freeing — it becomes about the process and not the output. Coupled with the satisfaction of looking back at a month’s worth of work, the encouraging comments (and inspiration) others gave along the way, and the incredibly inspiring work of others.
Show me some of the creative magic…
Here is a small selection of the variety of works created over the course of the 30 days.
Sounds great, how do I run it?
