    Writing Inspiration

    Writers are always looking for different ways to help their creative writing and inspire them to write more. It's common for them to use a random word, a random sentence, or even a random paragraph to help with their writing. While all of these options are word-based, a random image is also an excellent way to help that's a bit different that'll make you use your creativity in a different way than with words. The simplest form would be to generate a random picture and then write a paragraph or short story about the image. For those who want to make it a bit more of a challenge, they can use the random picture as inspiration for a paragraph or short story that's somehow related to it, but not a description of it. There are dozens of other ways this can be adapted depending on how difficult you want to make the writing challenge, but the base point is that all will make you use creativity in your writing to get the words on paper.

    Artistic Inspiration

    These random pictures aren't limited to giving writers inspiration. They can be used by virtually any artistic pursuit in a similar way to also inspire creativity. A musician could use one to create a short piece of music. A painter could use it to practice their sketching. A quilter could use it to inspire a new quilt pattern. No matter what your artistic discipline, using this random image generator can be a wonderful way to begin the day to get your creativity flowing and inspire you to work on your artistic abilities.

    Brainstorming

    No matter what your group happens to be brainstorming, interjecting random images can be a wonderful way to expand the brainstorming session. There's something about a photo that gives a different perspective to whatever you happen to be brainstorming about. This can unleash new ideas and better define the issues you're tackling with the brainstorming session. Throw a random image into a brainstorming session about a new product idea and watch the creativity soar.

    Relaxation

    Another wonderful way to use these random images is to simply look at them for relaxation purposes. There's something about looking at photos that can help your mind relax and generating a lot of random pictures can help let your mind wander away from daily life stresses. It's always amazing to see where a random picture will take you depending on your mood and what's going on in your life, but it can often be an excellent way to put all the things in life that are stressing you out onto the back-burner.
