create n innovate

creativity is universal!!I believe every people is creative ,may be in their unique sort of ways.Perhaps they have different areas where they use their creativity.

There are lots of theories on creativity..namely Right-brain Theory.

the right side of the brain is best at expressive and creative tasks. Some of the abilities that are popularly associated with the right side of the brain include:

  • Recognizing faces
  • Expressing emotions
  • Music
  • Reading emotions
  • Color
  • Images
  • Intuition
  • Creativity
here you can take a online test to determine which side of your brain is more dominant

 MI or Multiple Intelligence is another concept ,it has been found that people have different kinds of intelligence rather than one single mental ability, This theory was introduced by Howard Gardner In the year of 1983.He explored various forms of expressions of intelligence available to cognition.According to him the Multiple Intelligences are:

Musical
Linguistic
Naturalist
logical/mathematical
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
visual-spatial
body-kisthetic.

the people who has more ability in Visual-Spatial area,are more creative.but in real life we need both right and left brain to lead a normal life as we need all the intelligence skill sets  described in MI theory.creativity is not something limited to our craft blogs.it should be applied in day to day life.we need to grow that kind of perceptions ..so our aim should be creative in every moment .

Lets do something about it...

1)writing down ideas

We have tons of ideas which flashes across our mind everyday,some are unique,some are bazzaire ,some are funny.We often forget those ideas by the time we hit the bed.We must write those at the moment it occurs.


Please don't bother about spelling /grammar.


I take it down in my cell's note,if you wish to go retro,carry a notebook.just dont loose your ideas.

2)Story first Technology Last

always think about the message you want to convey,be it  in any medium. do not think too much about how you will present it,so that people take notice. don't invest in a presentation class called  "how to use PowerPoint"...until you have taken a class "how to tell a story and connect with your audience"..

3)simplify

simplify things,your life,thought process,home,office,desk,process,vision,procedure.It saves not only time to indulge in more creative pursuits but it gives clarity of purpose.


4)fix problems


we love to complain,don't we!!but creative people fix problems of their own or others'.

5) Brainstorm

as the first point goes ,write whatever ideas or creative solution ,no matter how odd it sounds.Just remember dont tell other people that their ideas are bad ,specially if you dont have any better idea.

6) do you have an audience?

in the presence of an audience  ,never ever give a speech or data, give performance,tell a story.

7)see places

go out of your daily routine, or comfort zone to get your creative juices flowing.

8)no excuses!!

"I cant ( write/design/create) because I don't have latest tool".if you have your brain you will make your tool all by yourself.that's how our forefathers did it.you cant let a machine take your credit for your creativity either.and you cant blame a machine for your creative failures.

9)don't blame your tool ,Fool!

the more you become a master of your particular form---the fewer tools you will use.use what works,dont waste time on useless unsuitable tools .

10)everyday!

create something everyday!!

11)originality

always be original.try to have your personal touch what ever you do.invent a personal style.

12)inspirations

some people dont need push to create, but some people do.so inspirations are important and its endless.so collect and remember those in your own way so that it can make you get going.


enjoy!
