In general, do you find that your ideas come first, and then you figure out the tools to realize them, or do your ideas come out of the capabilities of your tools?
Sometimes I start with a process (a lot of that happens in my work...I like to experiment with new tools and new processes) and sometimes I start with an idea or concept and then try to realize that using the tools that I have at my disposal. So I would say both. I don't think one or the other is better, it really just depends on your working methods.
