An illustration of a right eye with long lashes inside a pair of dark glasses. The word “VISION’ is written in 3D red block letters below the eye. A diverse group of people conduct different activities around the text and the glasses. The footer text reads “#CMVISION” and “Illustration by Razan Alshalan” to the left and “CreativeMornings” to the right.

October’s Theme is VISION

It was chosen by our Riyadh chapter in Saudi Arabia and illustrated by Razan Alshalan.

How do you see the world? How do you want to change it?

Vision refers both to the sense of sight and our ability to imagine the future. Are you focused on the little details? Can you see the big picture?

As we age, our eyesight begins to deteriorate; seeing objects up close gets more difficult. And as we gain experience, what we want to accomplish evolves. Will your life grow darker or brighter?

Each creative act involves seeing something in your mind’s eye then attempting to make it a reality. A painter, an architect, and every other type of artist or craftsman has a vision for their work. What message, emotion, or impact do you want to convey in yours?

You are your own visionary. What do you want to see?

Share your vision with this month’s hashtag #CMvision

Our online lives are driven by two symbiotic forces; the innate desire to be seen and the voyeuristic urge to observe others.
