Juxtaposition in Words

Creative Combination with creating passage or poem with only key-word.

My life is like a Lamborghini car,

It makes me look wealthy,
But the only things which make me look bad are being a fool,
Foolish in a way that, I have to be a servant to others.

Pain VS ice-cream
U makes me feel like you are an ice-cream,
It created deep pain down to my heart whenever you start speaking,
It is like a freezing ice-cream been eaten by just one bite,
And it hurts the tooth vain before the ice creates more pain down the throat.

Evil Mind Map of Myself

There are 2 types of diagram can be created using mind map:

• Examples of Logical mind map for better understanding.

Meaning of Novelty

Novelty actually bring meaning on the quality of being new and fresh or even interesting. Showing something unsual to the audience or something new which audience never had experience or see before.

Defining Creativity

CREATIVITY

Creativity can be define in many ways of its meaning. First of all, it includes the ability to use the existing ideas and combining them in different ways for new outcome look and new purposes. Therefore, simple definition of creativity is the action of combining previously uncombined elements. Moreover, the ability to generate ideas and solutions to everyday problems born in the meaning of creativity. Being creative is an unavoidable inside our own personal, social and cultural boundaries. Besides that, defining creativity by identifying with specific sets of values, meanings, beliefs and symbols. The more creativity will be focused and limited, defining creativity by focusing on how values, meanings, beliefs and symbols are formed. Thus, the greater the chance that our creativity will become less restricted.

Researches found that creativity is often thought to exist on at least five levels:
1. a higher level versus a lower level
2. grand versus modest
3. big "C" versus little c
4. paradigm-shifting versus garden-variety
5. eminent versus everyday

A few examples on creativity applied:

Bulbs with differents points to let audiences to understand what the picture trying to say.

The candle light in the bulb probably symbolize calm light.

The fish in the bulb light probably means the fish can resist eclectricity.

This bulb with dollar sign $ probably is to highlight audience on the country economic.

Although popularly associated with art and literature, it is also an essential part of innovation and invention. Creativity is important also in other profession such as business,economics,architecture, industrial design, music, science and engineering.

Ideas of Creative

CREATIVE

Everyone is creative. Every human being whom able to use their brain to think, they are all creative person. The word creative can be use in various contexts. It can be use in contexts like culture, economic, organization, industries and many more. The word “creative” is commonly using most on art and literature, where people without creative knowledge only sees in art and literature. They never realize that whenever they start thinking to solve a problem, they are being creative in thinking on how to solve the problem. Creative is used when the common things become uncommon. Comparing on both chair designs, which one will be more creative?

1)A simple design on chair.
2)Concept chair design.

This is only an example to show the different on creative in art design. Creative is a very big topic issue to explain as it can be explained in a lot more contexts. For examples contexts in art work produced using different art styles or designs.
