Creative Thinking

Being creative means being able to think outside the box and to come up with concepts and solutions in a new way. This online course gave me the refreshment I needed on the subject of Creative Thinking providing me with tips to be the most creative version of myself. Anyone can be creative, but, just like reading, it takes practice. Nowadays is almost impossible to come up with completely new ideas (because everything has already been invented). However, it takes a creative mind to transform something already existing into something new. As a designer I always try my best to come up with innovative designs that can stand out but sometimes I get stuck in my own head and I don't know how to proceed further. Watching this video made me aware that this feeling is normal and the only way to overcome it is to always look around for new inspirations and new ideas. What I usually like to do when I have a creative block is to check for some ideas of new designs on Instagram and Pinterest and that usually helps. To be more creative is essential to take inspiration from something we like, from a design or a specific pattern and from there work on it and make it your own. Also, always find a way to trust your instincts!
