An Introduction to Creativity

People often find that working within constraints gives them something to exercise their creativity. Constraints

How has something been created which fits with certain structures and rules but plays around with them to give us something a little bit different? Different
Any act of making something (even making an idea) might be seen as a creative act. Making

Those who are seen as highly skilled or original (famous artists, musicians, film-makers etc). Original

Creativity can be an unconscious, random or collaborative act that becomes more than the sum of its parts. Collaborative

AS

Constraints: Had to create a music magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Budget and time were also contraints.

Different: My chosen music genre was against the usual ones people of my age would choose, and was pretty different because of this.

Making: Had to create my magazine myself, using my own photos and design.

Originial: Ensure my magazine was original by creating the design myself and working to make it fit in with existing music magazines, but also go against their conventions as well at times.

Collaborative: Worked with my models to take pictures of them and with other people when help was needed.

Originial: Ensure my music video was original by coming up with the storyline and ideas myself, and by looking to go against genre conventions when possible.

Collaborative: Worked with my actors and actresses during filming and looked at peer feedback at all stages of creating my pieces, to allow me to evolve them.
