Do you feel like the best ideas are hiding from you?

If you want to build a sustainable business from your designs - you need catchy and unique IDEAS.

The problem is that coming up with original ideas seems like some kind of dark art.

So you cross your fingers and hope a great idea falls in your lap.

But there is a better way.

There's no shortage of unique, winning ideas.

Ideas are everywhere - you just need the right methods and tools to help you find them.

Winning ideas follow patterns - and once you know those patterns - and understand how to apply them - generating great ideas becomes an easy, reliable and repeatable process.

Once you know these proven methods - any trend, subject or topic becomes an open goal that you can't fail to miss.

What if you could come up with creative, original ideas for any topic or trend, on demand?

Once you have these methods and processes in your toolkit - winning ideas come out of hiding.

Topics and subjects that seemed impossible to tackle become easy.

Unique, innovative approaches jump out at you from everywhere - and you see the obvious ideas that you might previously have missed.

Everything you create can be infused with originality from top-to-bottom; not just your visual style and graphics - but your concepts too!

You'll be able to create original content around the latest trend or story - and you won't be left thinking, 'I wish I'd thought of that!'

But what are these 'proven methods' - and where can you get hold of them?

Michael Essek

I've spent years discovering - through trial and error - exactly what types of ideas work best.

I've reverse engineered jokes and designs to figure out precisely what makes them tick...and I've built reliable step-by-step processes to turn any topic or trend into a bunch of great ideas in a flash.

I've compiled, assembled and curated proven frameworks into handy references so I can apply them whenever I need them - and now I'm sharing it ALL - the methods, frameworks, resources and tools that make coming up with new ideas quick, easy and fun.

And it's all inside...

The definitive toolkit for designers who want to generate creative, original ideas for any subject, trend or market - on demand.

You'll get a FREE Idealy Pro Account when you join The Ideas Workshop - giving you 12 months of unlimited ideas, unlimited projects and unlimited access to all tools, features and future updates.

What's inside

The Plug In Phrase Directory

For years I've been building up a bank of phrases, saying and idioms that I can quickly turn to to help me come up with great ideas fast.

That collection of phrases is now inside Idealy - and we have over 1,200 phrases (and counting); a veritable smörgåsbord of easy idea inspiration.

It's THE quickest and easiest way to generate great new ideas - responsible for almost all of my all-time bestsellers.

This also includes...

Examples for each of the phrases - to help you understand exactly how, why and where to use it.
Categories - Each phrase is categorised and sorted into ready made sub-lists - so you can quickly and easily get to the exact kinds of phrases you're looking for.
Tagging & Favouriting - Easily save your favourite 'go to' phrases with a single tap, and use custom tags to help you find exactly what you need.

PLUG-IN PHRASES:

Instant Replace & Alliteration Highlighting

The Plug-In Phrases tool has an instant-replace function - which means you can auto-generate over 1000+ custom phrases in a single click.

This takes the brain-work out of brainstorming, and spoon feeds you hundreds of potential new ideas in seconds.

Alliteration filter that highlights alliteration matches based on your input words (for catchier phrases)
Tags filter to help you narrow down to the most helpful, appropriate phrases for your input.

The Plug-In Phrase Directory is your one-stop shop for incredible phrase frameworks, proven T-Shirt sayings and up-to-date, current meme-driven ideas.

If you need ideas in a hurry - welcome to your new home!

The Visual Inspiration Board

Text based frameworks are great fun and super-easy to use - but design is a visual medium - and you can often say a LOT more with an image than you can with just a phrase.

That's why Idealy includes my custom-built Visual Inspiration Board - a comprehensive database of visual prompts and 'jumping off points' - to help spark your next great aesthetic-driven ideas.

The Visual Inspiration Board is broken up into 3 main sections:

The Graphic Styles Board. Proven graphic approaches that you can apply to your subject or topic. No matter what you're designing for - you'll be sure to find a style that works (or doesn't, with hilarious consequences) inside this tool.
The Iconic Images Board. Over 450+ (and counting) iconic images, logos and more - ripe for parody, homage and adaptation for trend-based or multi-meaning ideas. Pull on the collective associations of millions of people by playing on iconic images that we all know and love. The Iconic Images Board helps you get there fast.
The Layout Frameworks Board. When you need unique ideas that can stand the test of time - The Layout Frameworks Board is where you should go. Each of these frameworks leads to ideas that are heavy with goodies - and can be turned into entire series and collections of designs that work for products way beyond the humble T-Shirt.

...and just like the Plug-In Phrase Directory - The Visual Inspiration Board comes 'ready to customise' - with custom tagging and related phrases features.

The Visual Inspiration Board is a designers best friend, and you'll be amazed at the impact it can have on your ideas-ability once you start using it.

And just like every tool inside Idealy - The Visual Inspiration Board is regularly updated with new graphics, frameworks and iconic images - so it becomes more and more useful each month!

The Slogan Slot Machine

Creating catchy, snappy slogans is a breeze with the Slogan Slot Machine.

Simply drop in your inputs, and let the Slogan Slot Machine provide you with slogan options galore.

This tool is perfect for creating witty rhyming phrases (and non-rhyming phrases!) - that roll off the tongue and delight your audience and market.

With over 50+ slogans baked in, you'll never run short of inspiring slogan frameworks to use in your designs.

The Low Hanging Fruit Cheat Sheet

Ever kicked yourself for missing an obvious idea?

Low Hanging Fruit Cheat Sheet to the rescue!

This simple but powerful Cheat Sheet helps you brainstorm simple ideas around the most reliable product frameworks - using instant alliteration to deliver tongue-tastic results.

Words are helpfully categorised and organised for super-quick access, so you'll never run short of snappy, simple ideas that will impress and delight your customers - whoever they are.

The Mutant Words Masher

Playing with words is a great way to generate original ideas, but knowing exactly how to do that can be confusing and time consuming.

That's where the Mutant Words Masher comes in.

Simply drop your word in, and see ultra-unique and quirky transformations appear right away. Watch in amazement as novel, crazy ideas form before your very eyes!

And as if that wasn't enough - the Mutant Words Masher will break down your word and help inspire new and fantastical ideas from within.

To help explain how to use The Ideas Sorter PRO - I've included 127 sample ideas as example content.

These ideas are taken directly from the Ideas Workshop how-to sessions - each of them an example of a 'live' idea I developed using the very methods taught inside The Ideas Workshop.

So if you're looking for a quick blast of inspiration - or you'd just like some ready-made concepts to work from - The Ideas Sorter PRO is the place to go!

You've Got Questions - I've Got Answers...

Q: What Is The Ideas Workshop?

The Ideas Workshop is a comprehensive online course and membership for any designer who wants to learn how to develop incredible, original design ideas for any subject, topic, trend or market.

The course covers 13 core idea-generation methods, and includes worksheets and outline downloads, plus access to my custom software IDEALY - including 6 dedicated tools to help you put those methods into action as quickly as possible.

Once a member, you'll also have access to exclusive livestreams and The Ideas Workshop community - where you can get help, support and advice from me directly - and from your fellow students.

Q: How Long Does It Take To Complete The Course?

The Ideas Workshop is a self-paced online course - and you get instant access to all the classes.

The main course itself includes over 5 hours of in-depth video content - so how fast you go is up to you.

All the main lesson videos are short and focused (most are under 15 minutes long) - and the content is designed to help you dip in and out - so you can use the methods and videos like a reference or re-fresher, whenever you need a helping hand.

Once you've watched a session, I recommend you download the relevant worksheet to follow along - but you can revisit and remind yourself how techniques work whenever you need to.

Q: How Long Can I Access The Content?

Access to The Ideas Workshop is offered as a 12 Month subscription.

During your membership you'll have full, unlimited access to all course materials, tools, updates, software and to the Ideas Workshop Community.

(You can cancel your subscription at any time using the online billing section - and you'll still maintain access for the duration of your term.)

Q: I Already Have Plenty Of Ideas - Why Would I Need This?

Having ideas is not the same as having good ideas.

Good ideas - pertinent, witty and original ones - are something very few people can come up with on demand, and even fewer can do so at scale.

If you're confident in your existing ideas-ability then that's great! But chances are there are types of ideas, techniques, methods and frameworks that you don't even know about right now. This class will introduce you to them, and show you exactly how to use them.

More than that - The Ideas Workshop is designed to make coming up with creative ideas faster than ever before - so even if you have great ideas already - The Ideas Workshop will help you come up with more of them, and come up with them even faster.

Q: I Don't Do Funny Ideas - Is This Still Going To Help Me?

The short answer is yes!

Whilst a lot of the techniques here are GREAT for creating original joke-based ideas - they can also be used to create fantastic ideas that don't rely on humour at all.

Plus - humour is a great motivator - it moves people to respond, share and buy. So if you aren't using humour in your designs - you are probably missing out - and The Ideas Workshop will help you conquer your funny side in no time at all!

Q: Do You Show How To Find Niches, Trends, or How To Design?

Nope, nope and nope.

This is a class about IDEAS. It isn't about niche research, setting up a Redbubble account or creating designs.

This is 100% dedicated to helping you come up with great, original ideas at scale - but it's up to you to decide what topic or subject you want to create your ideas around - and it's up to you to turn those ideas into great designs.

Note: Whilst this is not the main focus of the Ideas Workshop - new bonuses recently added include my Total Trends Toolkit Course (which teaches you how to find, identify and make sales from trends) - plus my Designing T-Shirts The Right Way Course (which teaches you how I design shirts that sell). You have unlimited access to both these bonus classes (over $399 value) for the duration of your membership.

Q: How Do I Access The Tools?

Once inside The Ideas Workshop you'll find links and instructions so you can access all the tools and resources.

Q: Is The Training Live?

All the main course materials (the 13 Core Methods) are pre-recorded and ready to watch as soon as you join.

However - The Ideas Workshop also includes regular Live Sessions where you can get direct help, answers to your questions and feedback on your ideas and designs.

All live sessions are recorded and added to the course materials, so you can re-watch them at any time (and you'll get instant access to all our previous live recordings archive).

Q: What If I Can't Make The Live Sessions?

If you're unable to join me live for any of the Live Sessions - don't worry! All sessions are recorded and made available inside of The Ideas Workshop.

If you have questions you'd like to ask, but can't make it live - you'll be able to post them inside The Ideas Workshop community - and I'll take time to answer them during the Live Sessions or directly inside the community.

Q: When Do I Get Access To The Course?

As soon as you join you get instant access to all course lessons, so you can start learning right away.

You'll also get instant access to the tools and community - so you can get feedback, ask questions and get help.

Q: What If It's Not For Me? Can I Get A Refund?

The short answer is yes. If you sign up for The Ideas Workshop and decide it isn't for you - you have 14 days in which you can request a full refund.

However - my refund policy is designed to allow you to test out The Ideas Workshop and see if it's a good fit for you and your business - so if you access a majority of the course content and/or tools, then I reserve the right to refuse a refund. Please see the full Refund Policy for more information.

Q: Is The Ideas Workshop Community A Facebook Group?

No - The Ideas Workshop Community is hosted on a standalone, dedicated site.

You'll get an invite to join when you sign up, along with full instructions.

The Ideas Workshop Community is designed to be a distraction-free environment to get feedback, support and share advice and the latest greatest idea-generation methods.

Q: Is The Ideas Workshop Just For T-Shirt Designers?

Absolutely not!

The methods taught inside The Ideas Workshop have been learned primarily through years of creating designs for T-Shirts - but almost all of the methods are universal in their application.

The methods and frameworks included can be used to create design ideas for almost everything - quotes for hand lettering projects, producing cartoons, editorial illustrations, greetings cards, social media content or designs for your freelance clients.

Anyone looking for quick and practical ways to generate funny, unique, witty and clever ideas (from funny one-liners to parody visuals) - will find them inside The Ideas Workshop.

Once you have the methods and the tools, you'll be able to turn your new-found ideas-ability to any project that requires unique, creative ideas.

I like the way you are teaching to find ideas. And because I like using Idealy, it makes it easier to come up with ideas, English is not my language, so it is extra helpful to me.

Ideas are the crux of a good product and in my opinion there is no other membership out there like this. It has helped me think of other frameworks because I have learned to think in a different way when it comes to ideas and designs. I love it!

I easily made up the cost of the course in the first few weeks. I think the direction helped me to focus on specifics. Thus allowing me to complete a set of designs that worked really well for Q4. I don't always pursue holiday designs due to the massive number of designs. This year I addressed a very specific niche and did really well. (Thank you!)

SO MANY IDEAS THAT MY BRAIN EXPLODED. I'M CURRENTLY STOPPED AT ABOUT 50% FINISHED BECAUSE I'M GENERATING SO MANY DECENT IDEAS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'VE CREATED AND UPLOADED NEW DESIGNS THAT ARE ACTUALLY SELLING. THESE NEW DESIGNS ARE PRICED HIGHER THAN MY OLD ONES. AND, I'VE MADE ENOUGH IN ROYALTIES TO PAY FOR THE WORKSHOP.

Yes, I find it much easier to get new ideas, befor it was more looking for other stuff that's selling and just turning that into my ideas. And I have three designs, that already got a couple of sales, which are based on your workshop. I think I would not have thought in that direction without your advice. Thanks a lot

I covered the cost of the course early. I pulled together some ideas from the first week or two and had sales right away. Initially I was concerned about cost-but found it was well worth the investment.

I was relieved to find that I was actually able to develop so many viable ideas, that my main problem became sorting between them to prioritize the best.

I've learned methods to create my own designs -- they almost seem like creative secrets. It does make it easier to generate my own designs and gives me the confidence to do it. Maybe creativity can be learned.

Coming up with ideas is much easier, especially when I use the wordstorming worksheet. I have made sales on new designs which is always encouraging.

12 months ago

Yes I have had some very good sales already, the word storming has proved very useful and a much better method than I was using, I have more ideas than I have time to draw at the moment!

I have found it much easier to develop new ideas and love that I now have tools to help and guide me.

The low hanging fruit drive me some sales in different niches. 👍

I have sold shirts within days after applying the methods found in the course. I have also found generating ideas a lot easier and a lot more fun too.

I used the plugin phrase collection quite often and I already generate sales from those ideas

12 months ago

I got my first 2 sales for my first 101 design from one of the iconic image methods on the first day after it uploaded. I generate hundreds of new ideas to execute this week from the plugin phrase and I think it will be evergreen and little competition after I apply the word storming methods. After all, The ideas workshop is great, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend it to another POD business player because they will be very good at this business and the nugget will be decreased..hahaha... Now I have no time to play and watch Netflix anymore because there are a hundred ideas or concepts to execute each week.

Yes, I found it very helpful - especially because I'm Brazilian and English is not my native language. I created a bunch of ideas and I'm already seeing some sales on Redbubble, Threadless and Teepublic.
