The Behance network was developed for creative professionals to help them “make ideas happen.” Because creative people tend to jump from idea to idea without making all of them actually happen, Behance studies exceptionally productive people in creative fields and documents methods to help successfully push ideas forward.

Based on the theory of “Productive Creativity”, Behance shares their research revealing the invaluable role of components other than creativity such as organizational skills, leadership capability, accountability, community and cross-pollination in making ideas really happen. In the Behance “Featured” section, you can find the work and insights of productive creative people and teams who are “getting it right”.

Behance furthers the creative process with their “Action Method” which offers discipline to creative professionals to encourage everyday productivity. The Behance Action Method is based on observational research and helps creative people to organize ideas, take action and maintain relevant notes and references without getting overwhelmed by unnecessary clutter. In that regard, you can also purchase reasonably priced organizational tools at www.behance.com such as notebooks, cards and stickers.

As a creative writer, I was impressed with the information presented at www.behance.com. The site is easy to read and features useful links to explore the creative work of other artists, exchange tips and check out current job listings in artistic fields. If you are a creative professional or looking to become one, Behance offers a plethora of useful resources to inspire you and get you going.
