Look at how a stranger arranged their shop window. Creativity is everywhere once you start noticing choices.

Every arrangement you walk past is somebody’s decision. A shop window has a chosen order, a focal point and things deliberately left out, and once you start reading those choices the whole street becomes a set of design problems other people already solved. Noticing decisions trains you faster than admiring finished art does. The lesson is that somebody chose, and so can you.

Study one window, menu or notice board this week and name three decisions in it. Ask what you would have done differently. Carry one of those observations into your own work.
