the reason why I think both 'grids' and 'hand-made' are complete bs is because they aren't really specific topics to work towards. Hand-made is simply a medium or a way of executing an idea and not a topic or idea starter. grids is pretty much the same thing except enforcing a proper design sensibility.
don't get me wrong, handmade and grids are both things that I love but not a proper topic/brief to kickstart ideas.
