Oh, the meanings of spare. I played with three uses in my Daily Create tweet today.
I keep a surfboard in the office at all times, just in case. Usually, I’ll have a board on the roof if there’s swell and a chance to surf after work – or at lunch. But sometimes I get caught out and forget to load the needed equipment. When that happens, I turn to the extra – spare – board.
- Spare as an “extra” – the spare board.
- Spare as “save me” – the excuses.
- Spare as a “type” – the ribs.
This was an easy Daily Create, as I was already in the office and could take a photo. I used Photoshop to erase a good bit of the ceiling/wall and draw attention to the board/rack. Then I threw down some text to establish “proof of created on…” information, which I like to do with the Dailies.
The fun/creative bit was in crafting language to use a few “spares” in the tweet. It mostly works.
