The purpose of a light switch is simple, but we fail to notice the canvas behind it: the plate. There’s so much that can be done with the metaphor of a light switch, and there’s even space to do it. That’s your task today. Create a work of art that incorporates the switch into the art. For an extra challenge, create a design that incorporates a pair of light switches for a double-gang switch. Print it out and display it somewhere. Post a digital copy of your design (a pdf would be great) online so others can download & print it out as well. Soon we’ll have our campuses covered with these fun and creative light switch covers!

This idea comes from the book by Stephan Mumaw, “Caffeine for the Creative Team.” I highly recommend it along with “Caffeine for the Creative Mind,” for excellent creativity exercises.
