As creators, we usually tend to look outside for inspiration. This could be in the form of generally looking at the outside world, observing other creators’ works, researching what works and what doesn’t, and so on and so forth. However, I have realised that some of my best work stems from times when I looked inside myself instead. For me, this creativity usually comes in the form of music, and sometimes I find myself looking for nostalgia because of the high activation it causes in my art. In order to explore this effect more, and create a way to inspire more creators through nostalgia and reflection, I created this card set. My hope is that through these cards, creators can invoke nostalgia within themselves, enabling them to create what has always been inside of them.

The aim of the cards is not to directly help you create, but to invoke memories. These memories may or may not inspire you, but the idea is to have high activation to fuel creativity. I recommend that these prompts be approached with openness, honesty, and time. Do not be afraid to lose yourself a little in the memories, that is where the magic happens.
