Creativity 2
Design. Creativity 2
Creativity is the ability to see things others don’t see; see things from a different perspective. I am paraphrasing from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi‘s thought on creativity.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is renown for the concept of Flow, and the study in the aspects of happiness and creativity.
Creativity comes through the different disciplinary ways of seeing things.
My faulty scanned piece of work has served as an abstract design piece to allow the viewer to associate different meanings to the image.

Learning
Verse 19. Learning
“Knowledge is power and learning is super power” _ Jim Kwik
I worked previously on a project themed on ‘Learning’. It is common sense that knowledge is power, but knowledge is acquired via learning and discovery.
As a graphic designer, one constantly seeks knowledge in order to solve problems and to bring ideas to life. Designers are visual detectives and visual communicators. When creating work or responding to a clients brief, research is key and in the process more is learned.
The counter or negative space in the letter ‘W’ from the word ‘POWER’ are two inward pointing arrows symbolizing ‘knowledge’ and ‘super power’ you acquire or gain when you learn or discover new things. Take away the ‘P’ and ‘R’ from the word ‘POWER’ and you are left with the word ‘OWE’.
Learning is what you OWE yourself.
Keep learning.
Learning is never too much, rather, it is insufficient.

Be yourself
Storybook
Verse 18. Storybook
Life is like a storybook; we go from one chapter to another flicking through one page and the next. Occasionally, we go back a few pages.
Some chapters are incredibly captivating, some are filled with tales of good tidings, smiles and laughter; some are a reflection of a horror movie while some are like a psychological thriller. Some are just too good to be true; fairy tales of a never ending story, and some are er… a head scratch!
Whatever the story, there are parallels to be drawn. Positive and negative are relatives. Making a summation on all chapters and turning it to a bestseller is an ultimate achievement.
Let’s make our stories bestsellers!
