Take some of the most well-known creatives and writers around (Ok, they are fairly high on the celeb-o-meter) and give them the task of writing a story in just six words. Then give these stories to some good designers and the resulting pages are in Wired magazine. The results can be found in this fantastic article at Wired magazine can be found here.
Why not have a go yourself, the limitations of using just six words is actually liberating, a little like haiku.*
*It works on the basic premise of this site’s thesis, the more you can move into preparation the less perspiration and inspiration is needed. By creating a limitation you create the boundaries in which you will work. The concern of ‘how long is this story’ is gone from your head, which increases productivity.
