Week 20

Another week on creativity lets go for it =D so what is creativity? Creativity could be manifested from any direction in fact i believe everything that we see today is creativity. Buildings that are made need creativity, sofa designs need creativity even when a product comes out to the stock and i mean anything it will need a design that would be a appropriate and visualize WOW to the customers that’s what attracts the customers to purchase the product so they will have to be designed to an extent to get it purchasable and this is done by nothing else but creativity.

Recently as i mentioned before we had a lecture with mike about creativity and majority of the creative example he gave us i didn’t know about and now i do and i might know some that mike might not know off! What’s the reason? Creativity is large and it’s manifested in everything which majority of people creative.

I will give an example of creativity and hopefully i should define creativity in the easiest way...

Let’s start with music. Okay music is creative why because you use your mind to think ahead and express it through music with your body. When mind and body clash together it will only show creativity depends on how you express it! So if my mind and body clashed to go to shops for example that is not creativity!! I basically creative is harder to define and easy to see as it flows with majority people.

8 or 9 weeks ago i could barely remember Chris gave a lecture to us about his daughter! Chris basically had an interview about his daughter progress in school and all they were talking about was English and math nothing to do with fun or anything creative. It seemed unfair as she’s only 8 years old! When you’re in infant’s school should be fun and exciting and then it should gradually start to become maturing through age. The only reason why i mention this is because mike gave us a question, are kids creative? some said yes and most said no! Truly speaking i thought they were to but found out they weren’t. Kids brain are not functional to think of ideas they just do whatever they can do and that is not creativity it just them having fun. It made sense to make later which took me out of shock later =)

Does game industry manifest in creativity? I truly think that game design is surrounded by creativity. From start to the end it’s all creativity for a course like this there is nothing that involves being uncreative.

Course like this gets us to notice the creativity within us by combining ideas and thinking about new ideas that is being visualized through sketch books, 3d max etc. everyone are always amazed with most of the games and how they are always different all the time it’s because of the unique creativity and ideas that make the sound, graphics, story and gameplay completely different as there should be no sign of plagiarism. The main reason why game need to be good as it’s a challenging market and they will surely face so many competitors which i think is a sign of motivation. Creativity is within majority people. =D
