Background

For the last 30 years, Hermann Vaske has been interviewing brilliant people about their creativity: what makes them creative? What hinders their creativity? He just released the second film about his amazing journey. Now, this work of a lifetime needed a website.

Describe the creative idea (40% of vote)

As lots of interview answers demonstrate, being creative and being not creative are two sides of the same coin. Like shadow and light. On, off. Up, down. A creative life is about navigating through these ups and downs. That is why this website is all about navigation as well.

Describe the execution (40% of vote)

Obviously, the website shows interview snippets with insights from creative minds. But not as plain video statements, but as a creative journey itself: Scroll up and you experience a creative insight. Scroll down and you dive into being not creative. The website hijacks the scrolling mechanic by consisting of two containers – one of them running inverted. When you scroll, the website activates one or the other container, accessing either the pool of creative quotes or the not-creative quotes. That way, it never feels like scrolling up, but rather like switching into a different world.
