I absolutly agree with you wholeheartedly. I beleive that a person's creativness is an expression of there individuality, feelings, want's, and needs. Also it depends what a color says to you and what message you are trying to get across. Everything starts with a color.

I have never thought of the creative process in that way. I can say that analyzing what I do, color is not the first thing that comes to mind. I guess I get a feeling, and work from there. Since what I do so much is logo-based and branding, it starts in black and white, the lowest common denominator of reproduction and impact... then it evolves into color.

I dream in color, wear colorful clothes, and will certainly try on my next design to see if a color comes to me. It is a very cool idea.

On second thought, there are times when I do start with a color. When I rebuilt my motorcycle I started with Red, the frame had to be red, and then the rest fell into place. I might analyze as the color anchoring the rest ot he creativity (colors of components, color of paint, color of wheels, etc)

I see creativity as both sound and light. Sometimes it starts with a sound and sometimes with a color of light. I see sounds as light and vice versa.

I don't think I do create from a color first concept. I think it's the concept and since I do more photography based work - I think of light source.

Then if I'm working on a graphic spread, I'll try to get the color to convey itself and the concept.
