If your creative soul could live in any decade forever… where would it stay?At Northern Design Festival (@northerndesignfestival), our founding editor, @katylcowan, asked creatives which era they’re spiritually stuck in and why. From the clean elements of the ’50s to the chaotic magic of the ’90s, everyone had an answer.Why? This year’s festival theme, Heritage, got us thinking about the decades, aesthetics, music, films, and creative movements that still shape who we are today.So now we're asking you: What decade are you spiritually stuck in… and why? #NorthernDesignFestival #CreativeBoom #CreativeCommunity

Imagine heading out clubbing in Ibiza and walking straight into a giant contemporary art installation. This summer, venues including @hiibizaofficial, @ushuaiaibiza and @unvrsibiza are being transformed by Culture Collective, a huge art takeover featuring more than 70 international artists.It's proof that art doesn’t always belong inside quiet white galleries. Nicely done @w1curates#clubbing #ibiza #artandculture #creativeboom

Has anyone else noticed how hard it’s become to say no lately? With the industry feeling tough and money feeling tighter, a lot of creatives are stuck in survival mode right now. Which means saying yes to everything can start feeling less like opportunity… and more like pressure.The coffee. That “quick call”. Maybe the unpaid thing that might “lead somewhere”.In this week’s Editor’s Cut, our founding editor @katylcowan reflects on protecting your time, energy and creativity in an industry that often makes us feel guilty for slowing down.Curious how other creatives are navigating this right now? Or whether it’s even a thing? #creativecommunity #creativeboom

If you could be any character from stage or screen, who would you be and why? Creative Boom is at @pictoplasma in Berlin this week, meeting loads of nice artists and designers, soaking up the atmosphere, and watching a load of talks. The theme? Characters. A super important element of any story.Our founding editor, @katylcowan, wanted to ask a few attendees which character they'd love to be, and why? What about you? Let us know in the comments... #pictoplasma2026 #berlin #creativeboom #creativecommunity #characters
