I am constantly dabbling with the idea of 'newness'. Check out some experiments here > A new thing a day
​
Newness is the quality of having been recently created or having started to exist recently. Kids or even we lose our enthusiasm for things when the sense of newness wears off. Newness is a state of fresh mind, an important feeling while creating.
There is certain urgency, recency and excitement that prevails while building your story. This excitement keeps you deeply connected to your creation.
Uniqueness, novelty, freshness, originality, innovation, newfangledness, recentness, aliveness, preciousness and timelessness gets built in automatically. I love to compile anything that looks and feels 'new'. (of course to me). I hope to engage with likeminded to co-create, compile a body of samples of design that makes one alive with 'newness'
