Duarte.com/edy Episode 9: Brainstorming

By Eric Albertson

As a creative company, the lifeblood of our business is original thinking and fresh, new ideas. As a result, brainstorming is one of the most frequently-used tools in our arsenal. At Duarte, we have found that brainstorming can help in almost any situation, which is exactly what Finn shares with Bob when he helps him discover some new visual ideas for his upcoming presentation. All goes well until Bob’s imagination gets a little carried away…

Duarte.com/edy Fun Fact: This is one of the first episodes our comedy troupe ever sketched out to make together. Years ago, long before Bob and Finn ever existed, we used to meet early in the morning before work to talk about our shared admiration for the legendary puppeteer, Jim Henson. As the idea for doing the puppet series, Duarte.com/edy, started to take shape, one of Henson’s earliest skits, featuring Kermit the Frog teaching the use of creative visualization, became the example we’d use to describe what our project would look like. Below is a link to that original skit that served as inspiration for Bob and Finn and the world of Duarte.com/edy.
